Heavy Petting by Irish folk-psych group Dr. Strangely Strange returns for it's 55th anniversary in a newly expanded 2-CD edition that re-examines one of the era's most quietly distinctive folk-psych albums. Newly restored and carefully rebalanced from original sources, this edition presents the album in striking clarity, alongside additional studio recordings, contemporary radio performances, and rare live material from the period. Far from a historical footnote, Heavy Petting emerges as a singular snapshot of a band in motion-intimate, elusive, and increasingly recognized as an essential, if eccentric, artefact of the underground folk-psych canon.
