GURNEMANZ - Fair Margaret And Sweet William (1972-2008) APE (image+.cue), lossless

Gurnemanz from the Rhineland area were founded on 5/5/1972. Their music was a kind of medieval folk with lute, flute, sitar, and similar instruments. In 1975 they released their LP “Spielmannskinder” and in 1977 “No rays of noise”. Before the band already had released three reel-to-reel tapes: “Fair Margaret and sweet William” (1972), “Liaze” (1973), and “Sisu” (1974) each of them lasting 45 min. Good for us, John Cremer who was responsible for the recordings had kept the master tapes. In his Railroad-Tracks-Studio he got all the sound possible out of them. On the now available CD you can find as a bonus three pieces from one of the very first Gurnemanz’ gigs (also recorded by John Cremer). The booklet shows all the lyrics including comments, and in part translated into German. GOD
