Description/Reviews
A few years ago Wah Wah released the book including the only LP that was originally released by Can Am des Puig back in the seventies (Part I) plus adding an extra LP (Part II) which had been recorded in the same era while the book was being created, but as the book itself hadn't been previously released. Now, thanks to the help of Will Z, original Can Am des Puig (the name of the band which recorded "The Book of Am") residents Leslie and Juan, plus original contributor Carmeta have joined forces again to finish what was left unfinished. The main body of Parts III & IV is formed by those songs written back in 1970's Ibiza and Mallorca that never reached the recording stage. Will Z has also written part of the music, and has helped with all arrangements having in mind the sound of the original sessions and respecting the musical feel and spirit of the original Book Of Am recordings. It sounds amazing and will not dissapoint fans of parts I & II.
