St. Helena, Norway ***REISSUED***


St. Helena - Hello Friend 1974 (1992 Colours) 

***Reissued by Norske Album Classics in Mar 2022

St. Helena play a very complex progressive sound akin to the UK scene at the time. Matches closest with the band Gracious! on their debut. I also hear parallels to another classic Norway band, Junipher Greene, especially from their Friendship album. Unfortunately the album is under 25 minutes, but it's time well spent. Only an archive LP exists, from the late great Colours label. Would be nice to pair this with the archival Hades album, that is also under 25 minutes. 

Priority: 3

5/19/10; 5/4/22 (complete)
