Paul Roland - Happy Families
For appreciators of the bizarre everywhere! I promised this back when I upped the Danse Macabre album. This was the follow-up and takes Roland's unusual baroque psychedelic folk even further back in time. Whereas Danse Macabre crossed over into rock, Happy Families features just Roland's very English vocals and acoustic guitar backed with harpsichord, horns, strings and organ from The Windham Hill Wind And String Ensemble. More charming eccentricity from a very unique songwriter released on French punk label New Rose.
Ripped from a vinyl album released on New Rose Records (ROSE 163) in 1988 to high quality lossless flac audio.

have the cd with Cabinet of Curiosities and an older vinyl rip but some more Roland won't hurt.

Thanx
Thanks so much - I only discovered PR maybe a couple of years ago - but quickly found as many CD's as I could by him. Nice up, can't wait to give it a whirl!
