Roger Rodier - Upon Velveatur LP (Sunbeam/UK)
They Say:
Black 180 gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve with 20-page lyric booklet, A4 insert, A3 poster, and CD with bonus tracks. 50th anniversary reissue of a Canadian acid folk masterpiece. Upon Velveatur is an enigmatic French-Canadian folk-psych suite, featuring beautiful melodies, lush orchestration, and stinging electric guitar. Barely circulated on its original release in 1972, it has since gathered a cult following. This 50th anniversary edition comes in a gatefold sleeve containing background notes and rare images, and includes a reproduction of the original lyric booklet as well as a press release and promo poster from the time of release. The set also includes a CD containing the full album and five bonus tracks.
