The Icelandic prog-rock band Svanfríd urreleased only one album, recorded six months after they played their first gig.This short-lived band rapidly rose to fame, receiving rave reviews for live performances,but in fact their music was way ahead of its time. They were unable to seal a recording contract so they formed their own label – Swan Records. When the album ‘What’s Hidden There?’ was released in autumn 72 it got mixed reviews and sold onlya few hundred copies, leaving the band with a great album but sadly not the income they had been hoping for. Recorded at London’s Majestic Studios the album was cut andpressed in England. Perhaps one of the best heavy prog / underground album from Scandinavia with amazing guitar & all English vocals. 500 numbered / heavy gatefold sleeve / 180 gram pressing / 2 page insert
