But during their existence, the band recorded a lot of stuff, included here for the first time along with their rare 45.<\/p>\n<p>Cymbeline was basically two guys, Michael Journath and Anders Weyde, who met in 1965 while they both played in beat bands. They started recording songs at Anders little home studio with help with some friends and that\u2019s how songs like &#8216;Imagination&#8217;\u00a0and &#8216;Look At The stars&#8217;, amazing examples of homemade teen-beat, were born. At the same time, Michael and Anders were feeling a bit tired of playing cover versions with their beat bands so decided to start recording more experimental stuff, using armchairs and furniture as percussion, sounds from seagulls and birds, an electric cocktail mixer, improvising lyrics\u2026 these incredible experiments were recorded as &#8220;Images\u201d, including the killer garage-psych sounding &#8216;Third Image&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1847\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Michael-900x675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the years passed by, the home studio improved and new songs were recorded in a more psych-prog vein, some of them included here. There also played a few live gigs with some help from other local musicians. In \u201970, Ulf Ryberg joined the group and soon after a 45 was released containing his song &#8216;New York&#8217;. The flip side was &#8216;Sixth Image&#8217;, originally one of the \u201cImages\u201d but rearranged and re-recorded. In \u201971, demos for an LP where recorded at Europafilm Studios in Stockholm. Two fantastic songs are included here and the sound is different from the earlier recordings \u2013 closer to the groups live performances.<\/p>\n<p>So, 40 years later, here\u2019s the LP that Cymbeline always dreamed of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1845\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061-900x900.jpg 900w, https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GUESSCD061.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<span class=\"synved-social-container synved-social-container-share\"><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F1844&amp;t=Cymbeline%20%E2%80%981965-71%E2%80%99%20%28Guerssen%29&amp;s=100&amp;p[url]=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F1844&amp;p[images][0]=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shindig-magazine.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F10%2FLasse-Michael.jpg&amp;p[title]=Cymbeline%20%E2%80%981965-71%E2%80%99%20%28Guerssen%29\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F1844&amp;text=New%20post%20on%20our%20site\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Cymbeline%20%E2%80%981965-71%E2%80%99%20%28Guerssen%29&amp;body=New%20post%20on%20our%20site:%20https%3A%2F%2Fshindig-magazine.com%2Findex.php%3Frest_route%3D%252Fwp%252Fv2%252Fposts%252F1844\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/shindig-magazine.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previously unreleased DIY homemade psychedelia, teenbeat and fuzz-psych\/prog by this amazing Swedish band, 1965-71!
