EDWARDS HAND Stranded (1970 US 8-track vinyl LP, pasted picture sleeve with deletion notch cut. Having George Martin once again on production duties, the band attempted to create a harder & more progressive sound than before with the second halfof the album being effectively a concept of alienation and isolation, covered in the title track & the 12 minute epic 'Death Of A Man', which includes an incredible 'orchestra duelling-with-moogs' mid section followed by a beautifully majestic& Beatlesque coda. The sleeve shows some light shelfwear & a small top edge split but the vinyl is superb LSP-4452)
