Being released on the same label as the now infamous Hans Hass LP this one raised my attention a couple of years ago. Seeing the names Gerhard Augustin (he produced Affenstunde and other Popol Vuh gems) and Dieter Dierks (Cosmic Jokers, Ash Ra) on the back cover convinced me this wouldn't be your average german schlager folk. Of course it's not! Highly unique and highly recommended!

New Orleans voodoo by the great Dr. John. For me it's all about the sidefilling Angola Anthem - a funky and VERY trippy voodoo workout. Here's a bit of background info by the Doc himself: "My managers put me in a psych ward. These guys were very bad people – I had gotten busted on a deal, and they got me bonded out of jail, and so when they did I could have got a parole violation. All of this stuff was so unconnected to music that it’s hard to relate it. A friend of mine had just come out of doing 40-something years in Angola [the infamous Louisiana State Penitentiary], he was just someone special in my heart – called Tangleye. And Tangleye says, 'I’m gonna sell you this song. Got it in Angola, but ain’t nobody ever cut this song…' Even now guys I know getting out of Angola know this song. It’s still a horrible place to be."

Overall great playing VG+ copy with a tiny scratch causing clicks in the first minute on side A. Cover shows light wear.

Germna musicologists divide music into E-Musik and U-Musik. E for Ernste (serious) Musik and U for Unterhaltung (entertainment). In the Wikipedia article about Frank Wolff I read that he's constatntly travelling between those two poles. To me it sounds like that Wolf can be at both places at the same time. If you dig Black Masses, Experiments in Pop, playful Krautrock, Baudelaires Flowers Of Evil recited like a liturgy (bien sûr en français) and would like to enjoy the german national hymn Hoffmann von Fallersleben's Deutschlandlied in a different way than usual grab this copy. You won't regret!!

20 minutes before writing these lines this used to be a LIKE NEW COPY! Actually unplayed - the nicest one I've ever seen. Coming from a radio guys archive (who was probably more into the aloa-he side of Reichel...) I then washed it to ship it out dust-free and when I wanted to put it back into the inner sleeve it slipped out of my hands. Now we have a few surface scuffs (from my fingernails trying to hold it) on side A and an audible scratch on B1. If the night wouldn't have been that short I would be incredibly mad at me but being so tired sometimes helps to get over it... Cleaned rip included.

Completely private DIY-Canterbuy pleasures from the middle of nowhere. Somewhere up north west in Germany to be precise (Cloppenburg, to be german). Two of those obvious cover songs found on hobbyists records - Let The Sun Shine In and Gimme Some Lovin. Both don't hurt actually, but I'd not be going for them when pulling out my copy. Salouse and Lost Reggae are my faves followed in sympathy by the long jam Break on the b-side. The latter plays with background crackle on this copy. Also the ballad before Break. All in all it seeems to be a very delicate pressing. Even the superclean keeper is a tad crackly. But don't worry, you'll get a cleaned rip on CD-r.

Listened to it over headphones in the shop... and boom! Found another one in the shop across the road and passed it to one of my friends.

Looks like another one of those traditional pingerpicking things but it's a psychedelic bomb exploding very gently. The b-side has a strong apricot brandy taste. Especially the 14 minute long jam Leaving  L.A. "... So watch the clouds, They are drifting in the sky, And feel the river, He's floating by, bye, bye, good bye.
