San Michaels CD. Reissue of 1971 Swedish progressive rock underground trio (pre-Kaipa) with superb organ, flute, guitars, dreamy / melancholic vibe. Originally released on the California label. Remastered and with full band history by Tobias Pettersson (Encyclopedia of Swedish Progressive Music 1967 - 1979) and lots of never seen photos.

Kaipa is one of the most cherished Swedish progressive bands. They grew out of the fertile progg soil of Uppsala, but their roots go back to 1964 and cover band The Shakemen with future Kaipa keyboardist Hans Lundin in their line-up. The Shakemen soon changed their name to St. Michael's Sect and released a few singles before making their album debut in 1970 with their name shortened to San Michael's. As such, they also appeared as a tour band for a few popular artists.
