Christopher James Freeman (born c. 1950) was taught ukulele by his father when aged seven and learned guitar from the age of eight. He began working on multi-tracking from the age of 16. In 1967, when aged 17, his left hand's middle fingertip was severed in a car accident, he had it replaced with a silver one crafted in a playing position. Nicknamed "Silver Finger", he learned to work around the injury using his left hand "only to press down on the strings". At the age of 21 he travelled to Spain and was taught by flamenco guitar virtuoso, Manitas de Plata.
In 1976 he self-financed his debut album, Thesilger, (named for the replacement finger) on T. S. F. Records. Mike Daly of The Age felt that Freeman "experimented with quaint effects involving digital harmoniser and distorted vocals – with mixed results". Two years later Freeman followed with Shifting Sands... Night & Day. When performing solo, he used a backing tape with orchestral tracks previously recorded on a Fairlight CMI.
Possibly the most difficult album to track down by virtuoso Australian guitarist Chris Freeman.
Outsider fingerstyle folk with studio effects.
Listen : B1. Shifting of the Sands + B5. Night and Day
The whole album : Chris Freeman - Shifting Sands
A great LP from start to finish in my opinion !
And a rare LP in a great condition ! Don't miss it !

Private 1975 Xian Folk LP from David Veglahn out of Loma Linda, CA.
A fantastic album front-to-back.
All music and lyrics are original (and great) compositions written by David.
Mellow, minimal loner folk with sparse but rich orchestral accompaniment.
"Ce disque m'a tout de suite semblé familier. Pour cause, il me fait penser à un Jim Meyer qui aurait délaissé l'Avatar pour se consacrer au Christ ! La ressemblance est avant tout vocale : une voix puissante, mais paradoxalement fragile. Jesus, Send your Righteousness ne comporte que des compositions originales, toutes bien pensées et exécutées. S'il est à ranger dans le bac loner folk, David Veglahn est le plus souvent accompagné (basse, piano, harmonica, melodica, etc.) lui donnant un côté apaisé, en plus d'un charme pastoral."

To my ears this is one of the of the best Acid Folk albums committed to vinyl. Very little has been written about this magnificent album. Hopefully this will get a bit more recognition as anyone into whimsical folk will absolutely love this ! (review by Alex Kerner on YouTube)
Definitely a true masterpiece in my humble opinion !

Ultra rare LP released by Charlie Webster in 1978 on the little Planet Records label (Catalog number : PR 002). It seems this was a run of only 250 pressings by Planet Records based in Doncaster and the music is inspired by the American author William S. Burroughs.
This sleeve was a earlier version before the front cover change.
Plain white back cover.
Listen : B7. Tricked by Love + B5. Funny Face
& B3. I Never Thought I'd Miss You + B4. To Go Back to Her
An ultra rare record and a little gem in a flawless condition !!!
