THE MAKING OF... GALLEONS OF PASSION / STAGE '76

Finch has a special place in my (prog)heart...as i purchased them on vinyl...when they came out (back then)...actually i found "Glory of the inner force" in a second hand store for Danish kroner:25,-. (which is aprox. 4 us dollars)and i was immediately hooked. So i own all 3 (original) cd´s.....imagine my surprise ( boy in a toy store) when i learned that this item were up for grabs ....and i must say..its a MUST HAVE.. for Finch freaks at least....cd´1 is demo versions of "Galleons of passion" plus an extra never before released track "Phases"....and i really have to emphazise that this is a "you cant live without it" item!!! Filled with fabulous playing (Joob´s guitar are just amazing) and the songs well written and executed!! Cd 2 are live and historic.... again with a plus (unreleashed) track "Necronomicon"...what can i say...im amazed and ...quite frankly..annoyed....well...annoyed to learn ...that the good Mr.Nimwegen has refused to ever(?) take up his magnificent art of playing again. So fellow Finch freaks and other "pardners in crime" lets send him a letter..ha..ha Ok...this one (2 cd´s) is a... in my opinion... MUST OWN!! Ohhh...and for those of you who do not know these brilliant musicians....imagine Focus without the singing ( and yodelling)...then add Akkermansque ( and then some) furious guitarsoloing.....and you are halfway there...OK ???!! 5 stars......certainly!!!
