Sandalwood – Changeling
SANDALWOOD - changeling (1971, uk)
Fmt: LP Ltd 500 sclp 002 3267794968092
utterly beguiling folk rock trio with two beautiful girls at the helm writing and singing
mesmerising faeirie-like folk rock, only clive the bassist could be found, the two girls vanished
in 1971 after making the lp and abandoning music to start families, clive has not heard from
them since the moment they gave him his 3 copies of the 50 copy srt pressing in a folk club
that night in ‘71. tracks like “sleepy rain” and “changeling” are understated and gorgeous,
with insistent and addictive guitar strumming under gentle sandy denny-esque vocals. the
whereabouts of the girls remains a mystery and the lp is issued with clive the bassist’s blessing.
only 50 were made, not 99, and the lp is extremely rare, every copy was given away to friends,
the originals are valued at £2000-4000
