Floating Arabic melodies, finger cymbals, hand percussion, shimmering fuzz guitar and \u003cb\u003eDamon The Gypsy\u003c\/b\u003e’s haunting vocals give the record a deeply spiritual feel, with songs that explore love, loss and the search for meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind it all was \u003cb\u003eDavid del Conte\u003c\/b\u003e, better known as \u003cb\u003eDamon The Gypsy\u003c\/b\u003e. After playing around Southern California in the early 1960s, he left the club circuit and settled in Big Sur. There, an impromptu jam with \u003cb\u003eGeorge Harrison\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eRavi Shankar\u003c\/b\u003e helped inspire the five-string tuning and Eastern-leaning sound at the heart of \u003ci\u003eSong Of A Gypsy\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded with guitarist \u003cb\u003eCharlie Carey\u003c\/b\u003e and friends, it was privately issued on Damon’s Ankh label in a few hundred copies across two sleeve variations: a single white cover and a black gatefold leather-textured edition. Rediscovered decades later by collectors \u003cb\u003eVeronica Breth\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePaul Major\u003c\/b\u003e, it later saw reissues from Shadoks, Guerssen Records and Now-Again. \u003cb\u003eDamon\u003c\/b\u003e passed away in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guerssen","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":58131358875979,"sku":"R5776-2383","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4255805501764.jpg?v=1786703813","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/song-of-a-gypsy","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
