    Svart Records Releases Extended 51-Year Edition of Wigwam’s Major Proge Epic Fairyport

    Behind the scenes Wigwamin Fairyport has been preparing for the 50th anniversary of the album for a long time. Svart Recordsin experts as well as Wigwam’s leading figure that season Jukka Gustavson have gone through the archives together and unearthed a variety of previously supposedly completely lost material, such as the full-length version of Fairyport’s final jam saved from Pekka Pohjola’s reel tape Rave-up For The Roadies, which, when uncut, is about twice the size of a previously published 17-minute.

    Some of Fairyport’s original reels have disappeared for ages, but enough of the 8-track tapes were found in a few songs that Gustavson and Finnvox’s Risto Hemmin with to make new mixes for the celebration album. What’s remarkable about these new editions is that the violin parts originally dropped from the album have been restored to them. The reels from Fairyport’s first demo and backing track session were also recovered and remixed, and a few of the most interesting excerpts from the album were selected from these. Wigwam did these early sessions in Stockholm and also played a gig during this state visit. This performance is also preserved, and a 15-minute multi-song Medley and the earliest recorded version of the classic were included in this set. Losing Hold.

    The collection is complemented by another 20-minute review of Wigwam’s gig in the legendary first In Ruisrock in 1970, a few months before Fairyportin the beginning of the studio sessions. On three tracks selected by Gustavson from this tape, Wigwam presents progressive interpretations The Bandin songs.

    The celebration package will be released as a four-vinyl box limited to 1,000 songs and as a solid double CD. All material has been re-mastered Pauli Saastamoinen Finnvox in 2022.
