Strollers - Waiting Is ( 1973)

Amazing album from obscure band from Malaysia The Strollers, recorded in 1973.
 '' Waiting is...'' remains as one of the best psychedelic albums ever recorded in Asia:
 superb musicianship, top sound & production and original songs sung in perfect english.
It ranges from full- blown heavy psych with killer organ,
guitar & flute to amazing UK late sixties styled pop- psych and some funkiest & proggy moments.

Incredible album - sometimes the copy surpasses the original and this music is truly astonishing the way it spans the spectrum of Western psychedelia and beyond - I particularly loved the Moody Blues style 'Children' track and the bubblegum psych of 'N.W.K.'

Many thanks for the lossless rip! Stay safe!

I come from Malaysia where this band still performers albeit only the Bassist and Drummer from the original band. Some of the originals and later members have passed on. Some have migrated.
Unfortunately, the current band plays mostly commercial stuff. Not a single composition from "Waiting Is..."!
