CD/DVD Releases: Long Hair Music To Release Three Discs By The Legendary Odin

Posted on Sunday, February 25 @ 01:35:54 UTC by nightowl

German label Long Hair Music has announced the planned release of three discs by the legendary German prog band Odin. The first release, SWF Sessions 1973 (LHCD 56), is a compilation of live in-studio performances for German radio. The cuts include a 12 minute version of the band's masterpiece "Life Is Only" and a brilliant version of the Zappa composition "King Kong." In addition, a 13 minute concert performance of the band's previously unreleased "Make Up Your Mind" clearly shows the direction of the band?s early work, featuring the incredible musicianship of Jeff Beer on the Hammond organ.



Later discs will include another live album and a re-mastered version of Odin's self titled debut, originally released on the famous Vertigo label. All live performances are from the archives of Odin keyboardist Jeff Beer, who personally supervised the re-mixing of the entire project.

UK distributor Freak Emporium (www.freakemporium.com) is taking pre-orders for the first disc. The remaining CDs in this series will be available later this year.

The fine playing and the classic sound of Odin make these discs must haves for all fans of heavy, Hammond organ based, European progressive rock.
