ESOTERIC are pleased to continue their series of CD reissues of the catalogue Finnish label LOVE RECORDS with this classic album from 1975, released in Britain on VIRGIN RECORDS. Pekka Pohjola was bass guitarist in the Finnish Progressive outfit WIGWAM, but departed the band in 1975 to embark on a solo career. In the album "B the Magpie" he produced a masterwork whose influence would spread globally thanks to a European release by VIRGIN RECORDS. Among the album's fans was MIKE OLDFIELD who would produce and perform on POHJOLA's second album ("The Mathematician's Air Display" - also released by ESOTERIC this month) and recruit him to perform on the "EXPOSED" tour. A wonderful instrumental work, the album was also notably sampled in recent times by DJ SHADOW. This Esoteric reissue has been newly remastered and restores the original UK album artwork.
