Gandalf 蠻曲折的，樂團都解散了唱片公司才發行他們的第一張專輯，而且這專輯只有兩首創作曲，其他都是翻唱，但是不管啦，這張專輯太好聽了！尤其 Golden Earrings 跟 Nature Boy 真是令人黯然銷魂啊！

Gandalf were an American psychedelic rock band formed in 1965 in New York City. Originally called the Rahgoos, the group consisted of guitarist Peter Sando, bassist Bob Muller, keyboardist Frank Hubach and drummer Davy Bauer.

They signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in 1967. Producers Koppelman & Rubin were not happy with the band's name, and suggested that it should be changed to the Knockrockers. However Peter Sando commented that they "hated that and bantered about various names". Despite being against the band's will, and losing local fan recognition, Davy suggested the name "Gandalf and The Wizards", which ended up sticking as "Gandalf".

They recorded their first LP the same year. The record includes covers of Tim Hardin, Eden Ahbez and Bonner & Gordon (the writers of "Happy Together") and two songs composed by the band's guitarist Peter Sando. But Capitol spurned them and only released the LP in 1969 with the wrong record inside the sleeve. The copies were recalled and damaged the band's career. Capitol didn't promote the record which made the sales worse. Over the years the album's reputation grew and it was re-released by Sundazed records in 2002. A second album, "2" was released by Sundazed in 2007.

Gandalf 是 1965 年在紐約市成立的美國迷幻搖滾樂隊。該樂隊最初被稱為 Rahgoos，由吉他手 Peter Sando、貝斯手 Bob Muller、鍵盤手 Frank Hubach 和鼓手 Davy Bauer 組成。

他們於 1967 年與 Capitol Records 簽訂了唱片合約。製作人 Koppelman & Rubin 對樂隊的名字不滿意，並建議將其改為 Knockrockers。然而，Peter Sando 評論說，他們「討厭這樣，並取笑各種名字」。儘管違背了樂隊的意願，並且失去了當地歌迷的認可，戴維還是建議取名為 Gandalf and The Wizards，最終堅持為 Gandalf。

他們在同一年錄製了他們的第一張 LP。該唱片包括 Tim Hardin、Eden Ahbez 和 Bonner & Gordon (Happy Together 的作者) 的翻唱，以及由樂隊吉他手 Peter Sando 創作的兩首歌曲。但 Capitol 拒絕了他們，只在 1969 年發行了唱片，唱片封套裡的唱片有誤。這些副本被召回並損害了樂隊的職業生涯。 Capitol 沒有宣傳使銷售情況惡化的記錄。多年來，這張專輯的聲譽不斷提高，並於2002年由 Sundazed 唱片公司重新發行。第二張專輯「2」由 Sundazed 於2007年發行。
