Original 1995 European pressed cd single.

Mr Sandman was Blind Guardians first ever cd single. The track is a cover version of the old doo-wop classic by The Chordettes classic penned by Pat Ballard in the 50s. The track is both comical and kind of creepy, depending on which half of the song your listening to. Hansi Kursch has an unusual gift for making his voice sound like a 50s singer, yet suddenly morph into a shouting psycho when he wants to, and the way the heavy section goes definitely falls into something that sounds outside the realm of sanity. Bright Eyes is an edit version which probably only makes sense to the one that need to save a minute of listening time. The Deep Purple cover Hallelujah is a bit more rock n roll than youre usual Blind Guardian track. It has distortion and a few faster sections then the Purple version. Then we have two demo versions of Blind Guardian tracks. The material here have now been released elsewhere but its the first Blind Guardian cd single and it comes with a beautiful cover artwork which still makes this an essential single for Guardian fans.
