MOSES JOSIAH - PLAYS THE SANDVIK MUSICAL SAW
Sandvik (Sweden, 1963)

Sandviken is the town next to mine, I go there once a week and visit record stores and fleamarkets, the dominant industry in Sandviken is Sandvik, manufacturer of iron merchandise. The fantastic EP I share today was a promotional Christmas greeting to international sellers in 1963.

Moses Josiah from British Guyana play three tracks on the Sandvik musical saw, the sound reminds me of the eerie Theremin often found in 1950s Science Fiction movies, and later films like Tim Burton's Ed Wood. The other side has a greeting from Ingemar Gustavsson, Sandvik, in five different languages. Find your own copy in Montevideo, Kobe, Hamburg or Enköping... I mean, this is probably as easy/tough to find anywhere. Wonderful beautiful vintage stuff!
