Chris Robison and his Many Hand Band, released privately in 1973 and reissued now on CD for the first time, was one of the world's ? rst records by an openly gay songwriter. A definite product of the wild 'n' swingin' '70s, Robison played with everyone from Kiss to the New York Dolls to Bob Dylan, and this amazing album touches on psychedelia, hard rock, folk, L atin funk and more. A totally deluxe package with bonus tracks and an informative booklet, this is highly recommended to fans of Bowie, Lou, Iggy, etc.
