Laguestra

Recently Nicolette Langestraat, the daughter of Laguestra, found some alternative sleeve designs, made for the record ”Utopia”. She also found some unknown glass records.

This EP was released in 1957, so it is free of copyright. The fact that the man made this music way ahead of his time might be a great help for doing a CD compilation.
Here is one of Laguestra’s own compositions, ”Berbersong”:
