berit's halsband (coloured)

Berits Halsband was one of Sweden's greatest unsung progressive jazz rock units. Formed in Stockholm in 1974, the band's self-titled sole album was originally released in 1975 on the Forsaljud label and featured as much as 14 members, including trumpets and flute. The album included four lengthy instrumental steamy upbeat fusion pieces in a slightly folk-tinged jazz-rock vein. Add to that a Canterbury-centric airiness and a rhodes' based, post 'Bitches Brew' intensity and what you get is one of the best mid-'70s psychedelic-jazz rock albums you never heard of... Limited to 100 copies on coloured vinyl.
