Hölderlin-Hölderlins Traum – Pilz 20 21314-5 – 1972

HÖLDERLIN debuted in 1972 on “Pilz” with the quite formidable album Hölderlins Traum produced by DIETER DIERKS. Psychedelic folk rock was a rare & even tender plant in Germany, which was mostly hybridized into galactic cucumbers in ROLF-ULRICH KAISER’s cosmic greenhouse. It’s a pity that the original line-up of H. with the wonderfully elegiac voice [...]

STEAMHAMMER

The fabulous story of the British blues rock band STEAMHAMMER in 5 acts This is the truly fascinating story of a band that set out in 1968 with hard blues rock and, via jazz and progressive rock, finally arrived at hard rock in 1974. The first LP, simply titled “Steamhammer”, was recorded in 1968 in [...]

ROLLING STONES – Their Satanic Majesties Request-UK-Mono DECCA TXL 403 / Stereo DECCA TXS 403-English version

The UK first edition of Satanic… is available in both mono and stereo. Both editions have the famous beautiful 3D cover in common. This, of course, does not exist on any CD edition that I know of. The original album is light years ahead of the CD not only sound-wise, but also haptically and visually, [...]

KRAFTWERK live ca. 1970

My first concert was Kraftwerk, around 1970. They played at our place in Reinbek (Hamburg East) in the auditorium of the Sachsenwald-Oberschule (SOS). The auditorium was packed. On the stage the musicians sounded with exotic instruments. I was 13 years young at the time and found the concert to be rather horrible noise, until I [...]

The Shiver – Walpurgis – Maris 20 501

THE SHIVER from St. Gallen were, along with KISS INC. and PACIFIC SOUND, one of the Swiss bands coached by STEFAN SULKE, and – in this case – richly crude & clumsily produced. Musically they oscillated between PROCOL HARUM and CREAM; and according to everything you read, they must have been real hitters live. At [...]

Agitation Free

Together with TANGERINE DREAM and ASH RA TEMPEL, AGITATION FREE formed the spearhead of the Berlin underground of the late 60s. Their experiments, oscillating between free rock, electronic music, ethno influences and free jazz, set them apart from inferior imitators of Anglo-American models and earned them a tour of the Middle East sponsored by the [...]

Black Sabbath – Master Of Reality

Vertigo 6360 050 Black Sabbath – Master Of Reality. Released with two different posters. one with a height of 35 inches, and one of only 24 inches. This is a leap forward for the Sabbies, no doubt about it. The interplay is more mature, as is illustrated by ‘After Forever’. They’ve even made room for [...]

Kalacacra – Crawling to Lhasa

Kalacakra Their name is Tibetan, and means “wheel of time”, more or less. It was the name adopted at the start of the 70s by two friends from Duisburg: Claus Rauschenbach, on guitar, congas, mouth-organ and vocals, and Heinz Martin – who was already an experienced live performer – on electric guitar, flute, shawm, violin, [...]

Kluster – Klopfzeichen + Kluster – Zwei Osterei

KLUSTER with “K” was the brainchild of CONRAD SCHNITZLER, who, with the help of the later much more successful MÖBIUS & RÖDELIUS, practised his exciting but occasionally quite alienating principle of “random music” hic et nunc & completely without electronics. SCHNITZLER, born in ’34, released Klopfzeichen in 1971 the first, and shortly afterwards Kluster Zwei-Osterei [...]

XHOL CARAVAN – Electrip

This band, from Wiesbaden, were originally called Soul Caravan. The band had made one fairly lacklustre LP, upon which they accompanied two black GIs who seemed to think they were Sam and Dave. After the two Americans had returned home, the rest of the band fell under the influence of Pink Floyd, acid and Rolf [...]

Achim Reichel & Machines

Achim Reichel & Machines came from my home town of Hamburg. The blond-haired Achim was the figurehead of the Rattles in the 60s, and later he was part of the wonderful Wonderland (who had a hit with “Moscow”). In 1971, he seems to have been evidently under the influence of certain chemical substances when he [...]

The Velvet Underground & Nico LP

Die meisten von uns kennen dieses Album seit Jahrzehnten. Es erschien 1967 in den USA in einem Klappcover, dessen Außenhülle auf der Vorderseite eine Banane ziert, entworfen von keinem Geringeren als Andy Warhol. Diese Banane lässt sich nicht nur leicht abpellen sondern der Künstler fordert ausdrücklich dazu auf, indem er rechts neben der Banane die Zeile „peel slowly and see“ angebracht hat. Daher ist ein „ungepelltes“ Exemplar extrem selten und entsprechend teuer. Die deutsche Erstpressung auf Verve erschien in einem importierten US Klappcover. Lediglich ein kleiner Papieraufkleber mit der deutschen Katalognummer, auf dem Coverrücken angebracht, weist auf die deutsche Ausgabe hin. Offenbar konnte keine Druckerei in Westdeutschland ein solches Cover zu angemessenen Kosten herstellen.  […]
