{"product_id":"spirit-spirit-vinyl","title":"Spirit","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder guidance of Randy California (a moniker which was given to him by the one and only Jimi Hendrix himself with whom Randy used to jam with in his pre-Experience group The Blue Flames…), \u003cstrong\u003eSpirit\u003c\/strong\u003e was a freeform musical oddity that enjoyed huge success in the hippie Sixties and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining jazz, rock, prog, folk and Indian influences, Spirit were unarguably the most interesting band under the Californian sun.  Spirit’s eponymous debut album shows their versatility, proving to be a blueprint for subsequent releases such as The Family That Plays Together and Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith fuzz guitar leads, sitars, clavinets, intricate string arrangements, blaring horn sections and excellent songwriting, Spirit (1968) has it all. This ground-breaking band from Los Angeles had Led Zeppelin open up for them when Led Zep went out on their first U.S. tour, where they struck up a mutual friendship. And Spirit's guitarist and main songwriter, Randy California, played in a band with Jimi Hendrix in '66. For those of you who were wondering, Spirit is the band that Led Zeppelin allegedly 'borrowed' the riff of \"Stairway To Heaven\" from (check out the Spirit song \"Taurus\" and decide for yourself).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpirit is available on black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spirit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67799575134599,"sku":"3J0755","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/4002\/8691\/files\/MOVLP636-assets-Mockup.webp?v=1793118529","url":"https:\/\/www.musiconvinyl.com\/de\/products\/spirit-spirit-vinyl","provider":"Music On Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
