Vinyl Prog Rock Harmonium ‘74 LP Francais Canadien Groupe Progressif Musique.
Harmonium was a Quebec progressive rock band formed in 1972 in Montreal.
Lead vocalist and guitarist Serge Fiori met Michel Normandeau (vocals and guitar) in a theatre music meeting in November 1972. Later on, in 1973, they met bassist Louis Valois and formed Harmonium. In November 1973, the group performed their first air play on CHOM-FM. They played 3 tracks: Pour un instant, Un musicien parmi tant d'autres, and Un refrain parmi tant d'autres. The first 2 songs were later recorded professionally to be put on their self-titled debut album. The last song was a sequel to Un musicien parmi tant d'autres, but never made the album cut, staying unreleased. A single was also released at the time with the hit Pour un instant on side A and 100,000 Raisons on side B, the latter only included on the CD version of the album nearly 20 years later. This album was a huge success and a sold out tour was staged all over Quebec and in French Canada.
In 2007, all three of Harmonium's studio albums were named among the 100 greatest Canadian albums of all time in Bob Mersereau's book The Top 100 Canadian Albums. They were the only francophone albums from Quebec named to the list besides Jean-Pierre Ferland's Jaune.
Sleeve - seams nice and tight, no splits. A few bumps from age and handling but overall probably better than VG+. See photos. Comes with lyrics sheet.
Vinyl- really does look unplayed. Super nice. C’est manifique!
All albums come with inner and outer sleeves.
All albums shipped in a real record box mailer with cardboard inserts.
Combined shipping is $5 for the first album, and .50 for each additional album.
