2017 reissue. "First album Outlander originally released in 1970 by Meic Stevens. Meic Stevens was discovered by DJ Jimmy Savile (but don't hold that against him) in 1965 whilst performing in Manchester, this led to a single being released on Decca Records later that year arranged by John Paul Jones. The single sold poorly and Meic Stevens retreated to his tiny home village of Solva in Wales in 1967, writing, recording and releasing a series of now incredibly rare Welsh language EPs. This led to more work in the UK and a recording contract with Warner Bros. The sublime Outlander was to be the first album of a multi album deal but both parties went their own way after extremely poor sales of the album. Outlander is the only album he recorded in English, subsequent albums are in Welsh."

Previously released on CD on Sunbeam Records; now released as the first-ever Meic Stevens DVD. On July 24th 2007, the man they call "the Welsh Bob Dylan" played his first London gig in over three decades, before a rapturous crowd at the legendary Half Moon. Backed by his long-time band, he treated the audience to classics from his much-loved late '60s EPs and legendary Outlander and Gwymon LPs, as well as more recent material. Ranging from fragile ballads to out-and-out psychedelic rock, the resultant film captures a master singer-songwriter at the top of his game, and is essential viewing for all fans of acid folk. NTSC format DVD, region-free.

Previously reissued on CD by Sunbeam, now issued on deluxe LP format as well; 180 gram pressing. When his classic Outlander LP failed to break through in 1970, Welsh singer-songwriter Meic Stevens' major label days were over. Gwymon ("Seaweed"), his legendary second LP, was recorded on his own terms in London in the summer of 1972, and highlights his pop sensibilities, with folk and blues influences also to the fore. It was only released in Wales in a tiny pressing, and has barely been heard since. The album makes its long-awaited LP reissue here in a deluxe gatefold sleeve containing complete liner notes, previously unseen photos, rare contemporary press cuttings and an introduction from the man himself, making it an essential purchase for all fans of psychedelic singer-songwriting. 180 gram virgin vinyl; mastered at Abbey Road: all-analog audiophile pressing.

It was only released in Wales in a tiny pressing, and has barely been heard since. Shortly after its recording, Meic moved to France, where he spent much of the rest of the decade in exile. The album makes its long-awaited CD debut here, complete with two bonus tracks, a detailed booklet featuring rare photos and an introduction from the man himself, making it an essential purchase for all fans of psychedelic singer-songwriting.
