Sandrose - Sandrose. LP. (Amber Soundroom - ASLP053) Sandrose came from France and were founded in 1971 by the leader Jean-Pierre Alacren, who started his carreer in 1966 at several dance- and pop-music-bands, where he played as guitarist. In 1970 he toured with Eden Rose and joined the band for a while. He first hooked up with his former bandmates Henri Garella and Michael Jullien: bass-player Christian Claireford and the female singer Rose Podwojny completed the line-up. One year later their only album was released on Polydor, and was recorded during one week at the Studio DAVOUT. It contains mainly very original composotions, all of which are noteworthy for the timbre of the female vocalist, who also of course contributed half of the band's name. Songs like "Old Dom Is Dead" are really outstanding. After the release of this record the group performed a few concerts, but musical and personal divergences appeared and due to lack of ideological harmony the group disbanded after several concerts at the famous GIBUS-club in Paris at end of December 1972.This limited edition official reissue comes with original fold-out-cover and 180 gram vinyl.

Sandrose - Sandrose. CD. (Musea - FGBG 4003) Beautiful flowing 1972 album by this mellow French progressive band featuring superb keyboard and guitar interplay and female vocals. In places sounds a bit like Julian's Treatment and Earth and Fire. Very rare on vinyl and one of the classic '70s Euro progressive rock albums.
