Label: Green Elephant

Year: 1984

Condition: VG+/VG+

Lobster, Lobster, Lobster! Equally delicious and exclusive as a crustacean. It took me 6 years to find a second copy ... this one plays with light crackle in the first 30 seconds. If you're a mint kind of guy you better wait for the 300€ bargain to pop up on discogs ;)

Before Kurt became the captain of her heart he recorded some proper reggae powdered funk monsters. Here's his first solo effort from 1979. Both sides great but that Giant Lady really is something special!

This german bossa beauty is completely below the radar. It seems to be a real rare one. I've dug out 2 copies in 15 years. Fans of Kitty, Silvia and Monika will have a party!

Style: Mellow Gold

Format: LP
Label: UA

Year: 1974

Condition: NM/VG+

This is the only longplayer by the austrian singer and actor Hans Hass Jr. who became quite famous in Germany for a cover version of American Pie in 1972. The longplayer features mostly self penned songs and they're in fact more interesting than that world famous tune. My fave is the folky balearic hit Welche Farbe hat der Wind?

Style:  Jazz-Funk / Fusion from Krautistan

Format: LP
Label: EBM (Private)

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/VG+  

There's a lot of german Fusion/ Jazz Funk LPs from late 70s and early 80s out there. This one's exceptionally good and exceptionally rare - teutonic Undderground Jazz-Funk at it's BEST. All tracks are enjoyable; some even more than others. Check the long clip....

Style: Cult Hits

Format: LP
Label: Pyramid Music

Year: 1989

Condition: VG+/VG+

The Pyramid Orchestra's singles are great but the real 24k gems are only to be found on the album. I'm talking about Reich Der Magie and Voodoo. Both sick experimental synth and percussion oddities par excellence. Plays with occasional background crackle, mostly in the lesser interesting tracks.

Probably nobody but the Kunstkopf crew understands why these amazing records have to be limited to 100 copies. Probably sadism? Here's one of them (099) and of course it's mad expensive. Wanna know why?

Style: Emotional Eso

Format: LP
Label: RASH

Year: 1984

Condition: NM/VG

I call this a wonderfull and emotional album. Can't say if this is ambient jazz or new age ;)  But in the end I don't care about words anyway. It's those shivers the music gives me. My fave is Venedig (Venezia) just as elegant as romantical. But check out Wald, Sommernachtstraum and Samba Pronto as well. They're all in the clip!!

Still sealed copy of Jiskefet's bonkers Maxi Single. "Amazing self-released 12" by the infamous Dutch comedian collective Jiskefet from the nineties. Two bizar eighties German crimi sounding tracks with equally bizar German text lines and composed with great electronic synths and musicality that would easily fit in any crazy Italo or Electro set. Well mastered and pressed on firm pink vinyl, highly recommended!" (stolen from a discogs review). Einen Tropical Drink, bitte!

Impossible to find private press loner Krautrock form Hamburg / Germany. Excellent left winged lyrics in german and somewhere between Krautrock and Psychedelic Folk. It reminds me of Ton Steine Scherben.

Condition: NM/VG+

When some friends, all hobby musicians or non musicians, gather to record some tunes it can go all wrong. Or totally all right. It depends on your point of view! If you dig the immense freedom of DIY listen ton these funky ass bohemiens do their thing! Weirdo Disko, odd Kraut-Funk, and more bohemian bastards

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/NM  

Superfunky synthesized fusion by this completely unknown german band. Guess it's impossible to become famous when you release a single record as a private press in limited quantities, huh? Anyway this is a real gem! By the way - Axel Fischbacher from Señora is involved here too....

Style: Ambient / Organic

Various percussion and flute is enough to light the fire. This impossible to find private pressing from 1992 has enough fire to burn entire woods. Light yer insense and burn the socks. It's time to dance!

Style: Funkiest Fusion

Format: LP
Label: Sun (Private)

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+

Excellent album recorded in the golden years of private pressings. Sun is one of those groups who mingle funky jazzrock with latin rhythms adding a touch of progressive - without sounding like Santana :) Infact they're so funky that i almost labelled it a Krautfunk album. Strong horn section and their affinity to the boogie (not woogie ;) is hard to find among german musicians...

LISTEN!

 
Style: Spiritual Jazz-Funk

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG+

Private press Jazz Funk by this funky bhagwani crew from Bonn, Germany. If you don't mind a little religion in your funk this album will move your feet! Funkadelic styled guitar moves, lots of percussion and tight breaks make it a must for friends of funky Jazz-Rock.

Year: 1981

Condition: VG+/VG+

Impossible to find private press compilation from North Germany including some fantastic Prog and Krautrock gems. Rayan And Friends' seven and a half minute long Collage is an epic trip led by synths with great additional guitar and drums. My personal highlight is the funky krautrock jam Der Übersinn by the K.H.J.- Band. Übersinnlich!!

One of the sickest boogie singles ever to be recorded in Germany. The Mainpoint guys are proper jazzheads so they know damn well how to handle their instruments. Both tracks rule. Someone has to reissue this GEM!! Oops i did!

Format: LP
Label: Not On label / Private

Year: 1983

Condition: NM/VG+  

Kraut Funk at it's BEST! Starting off with a superfunky jam session incl. soli for everyone in the band. Kemmler on guitar is blowing them other players to the walls of the studio. He‘s showing some more of his funky guitar skills in the second track called Chris The Fusionist. One thing very remarkable for a private german Fusion LP from 1983: It has RAPS! And they are a lot better than you‘d expect from a german (forget about Falco!). More fusion madness on the B- Side in Rebirth Of The Firebirds and they‘re closing with a mellow track called It Could Be. Smooth... Check the long clip!

Unplayed archive copy of this dark and mysterious ambient gem. G.B.

Comes in a gatefold sleeve with a beautiful 12 paged booklet showing paintings by Beckers accompanying the sequels of the musical piece about unborn Anna's first nine months. Weight is over 500g so shipping is 10,00€ for this. I can ship another record with the package though!

Oh Lord! By now quite a bunch of people noticed the quality of this monster of an Afro Disco record. Four tracks on this private french issue. Two of them great mellow afro jams and one afro disco tune that goes through the roof. If you never heard about you missd some growing bin updates and must immediately check the soundclip and youtube clips so you know what's poppin!

Cosmic post Berlin School electronics from Hamburg - one of the impossible to find original copies of Hardy Kukuk's first album featuring Klaus Bloch on Ping Pong guitar echo system and Andreas Schneider on guitar and congas. Partly dark and very deep throughout the whole album. Vinyl shows some hairlines that don't affect the play.

Crazy rare italian experimental record on the library label Edi Pan. One of my favourite finds of the last years. Seriously deep tunes on this album. Don't forget to check the pretty amazing pop up cover art .... but it can't get better than the music!

Style: Psych - Folk

Format: LP
Label: Lava

Year: 1981

Condition: NM/VG+  

The first thing I thought when listening to this album was: 1971. They must have fucked up the production date on the cover. This kind of singer songwriter style soft psychedelic can't be from 1981. Well some clocks tick different. Saskia's clock ticks very gently and I think the musicians might have had an affinity for Affinity. That should make you curious. A long soundclip is waiting for you!

Style: Italo Disco

Format: LP
Label: Not On Label

Year: 1986

Condition: NM/VG+  

DIY Italo Disco made in Hannover, Germany 1986. There's not much information available about Cocy. Computermixage seems to be the only thing he ever recorded. That kind of correlates with his talent. Soundwise this album can't compete with the big studios in Italia and the tunes are played, produced and sung very badly. All in all one of the most obscure things on this planet with the Italo Disco sticker on it. A truly fantastic album full of moments where screaming out loud out of disbelief is the only possible reaction. If you like it weird THIS IS YOUR GRAIL.

Label: TSB (Private)

Year: 1980

Condition: NM/VG- covered tear and seamwear

Check this massive under the radar Krautfunk album including a good bunch of top tunes somewhere between Disco, Funk and Westcoast AOR. Funky drums, lovely synths & clavinet plus some surprisingly good vocals - sung in english of course ... these dudes are international, but you probably guessed so from the cover pic already!  Too bad they didn't really make it to the showbiz with this fine album!

Style: Improvised Jazz / Contemporary

Format: LP
Label: Dizzy

Year: 1972

Condition: NM/VG+  

Otto Wolters on piano and electric piano featuring Horst Wagner on bass & Charles Benecke on drums. It seems to be their only recording.

That's a shame. Their technically excellent and well balanced modern jazz improvisations have a whole lot of soul. Check the slow building Boab in the first clip and the rhythmically tricky Consuelo in the second.  It's rare private press. IMO one of the strongest private Modern Jazz LPs from Germany.
