Being progressive rock

Enlarge this picture! Finnish Progressive group WIGWAM with their classic 1974 album Being, the bands fourth LP. Formed in Helsinki in 1969, the band featured the talents of British Keyboard player and vocalist Jim Pembroke, Jukka Gustavson (keyboards, vocals), Pekka Pohjola (bass, violin, keyboards) and Ronnie Osterberg (drums). Released in Finland on the Love Records imprint, the album was a superb work which demonstrated the diversity of the band and the excellent musicianship of its members, but was to be the last album by this line-up. The record that brought Wigwam to the attention of Virgin Records in the UK, Being also brought the band international acclaim. This newly re-mastered Esoteric Recordings reissue, in full co- operation with Love Records in Finland, fully restores the album artwork and marks the albums long overdue debut release in the UK.
