Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22,000+ positive feedback.
We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

- ORIGINAL 1971 (V.RARE!) FIRST PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- = SECOND LIFE =
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- Germany - "METRONOME" - MLP 15-409
- SECOND LIFE the scoarching power guitar trio first and lastly appeared among exploding peak of the dawning of the 1970 "Krautrock" scene.
- Widely lost LP SECOND LIFE were among the first wave of "electric sound" underground groups, ranging from sci-fi space explorations, "Annexus Quam" "Cluster" "Ash Ra Tempel" "Popol Vuh" early Tangerine Dream, etc on into the flipped-out power psych Kraut legends, Guru Guru, Hairy Chapter, Virus, Night Sun, and all sorts of crazy complex prog-psych-jazz crossbreeds, Embryo, Kollektiv, Thirsty Moon , Can, Neu , etc. etc.
- ........................................................................................
-
SECOND LIFE a heavy guitar, bass & drums outfit were swept out to sea in the days of the swarming '70 - '75 "Krautrock" happening.
-
With visually "cave-men" appearance SECOND LIFE- at one glance of cover - just had to be worthy of investigation.
No commercial potential, SECOND LIFE's appearance reflected to a primitive punishing attack, yeah, both sides; including the side-long jammer filled with extended power-chord frenzies.
Think of a far more primitive version of Hairy Chapter, Tiger B Smith ("Tiger Rock") Weed, Night Sun, etc - the unrefined crude side - unrestrained definitely .
By the way, a year later probably due to consumer shock, SECOND LIFE changed their name to TIGER B SMITH (same trio) promptly delivering the 1972 "TIGER ROCK" album, pull out your wallet, it's
- on the vaunted VERTIGO SWIRL label as "Tiger Rock" happens to be "Second Life's" career highlight , despite their similar third LP, a heavy-rock yet more refined offering "We're The Tiger Bunch" released in the USA on that hopeful yet defunct Janus label, without the German (gatefold) female/male nudes art cover.

- eh.........
- SIDE A
- Second Life (side long heavy-psych epic)

SIDE B - I'm Going

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: VG++ very acceptable givin rarity it is (comprable copy or maybe two at best going for $200 + $30 Germany overseas shipping on Discogs. Early 70's fragile laminated covers were prone to peel their lamination after 50+ years - as this, still very shiny cover with only light handling visible, very worthy even with small delate circle at bottom left. Probably copies were deleted due to the crude nature of this beast. There are no alarming issues otherwise = LOOK!
- The vinyl: Rated: M- surprisingly CLEAN both sides ... the original owner maybe played once or twice back in the day and may have been repelled, just a guess ... crude heavy rock isn't, or wasn't everyone's bag
- Still SECOND LIFE were signed to the German major label METRONOME label of AMON DUUL 1 ... both Metronome labels are TOP clean, you'll receive...
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
