Spiders In The Rain
With 2020 hindsight (and magic mics), we spy Wand in their late Plum/Laughing Matter quintet style, rolling up the west coast and rolling out the magic carpet. These nights spent communing with the crowds and jamming toward infinity (fittingly) promise that we’ll meet again, on nights like these further down the Möbius strip. But you knew this!!!

Flop
"The second LP of the band was posthumously released on Flamophone in 1970. It was released as a double LP that collected all their single & EPs output plus other material recorded during the band's short life-span. Great echoes of The Bee Gees are heard on their early 7" releases, but again retaining a strong own personality that makes it difficult to find such a unique sound in other bands. A double LP housed in a gatefold colorful sleeve in a limited edition of only 500 copies, plus an insert…
