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 18,000 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

Underrated / underestimated and somewhat or more, unknown, is the off shoot UTOPIA album, first released in 1973. Original inner sleeve (see photo) included!

Read on :::
The first track 'What You Gonna Do' is a straight-ahead rocker, with Amon Duul's fem extraordinaire Renate Knaup singing supremely acidic tones , yes, always nice to hear her distinctive voice.
'Wolf-Man Jack Show' is a weirdly cool song, with "Embryo" organ wizard Jimmy Jackson at the mysterious 'Choir Organ' (giving off a stranger sound than Mellotron choirs), which he actually utilized on many tracks here all to good effect. The bass riff here is almost snatched straight from Beatles' 'Come Together', played German style.
'Alice' is a sweet love song. The tune itself is care-free and up-lifting, and has Amon Duul's Lothar Meid playing Mellotron flutes. Maybe reminding of (Soft Machine) Kevin Ayers early UK grooves on this one.
'Las Vegas' is a hippy-sounding jam with congas, jazzy winds and playing and a cosmic nose-flute !
'Deutsch Nepal' is a FAR SUPERIOR freaked-out re-make of the song of the same name from Amon Duul's famed 'Wolf City' LP. It's heavy sound and extremly acid-strange 'vocal' from one acid-head Rolf Zacher which makes it a perfect example of Krautrock.
'Utopiat No.1' is another hippy jam and features groovy-sound & very searing organ gushing from Jimmy Jackson and Falk U. Rogner too,
Then you get Amon Duul's Olaf Kubler toying around with a Moog Synth, and bizarre echoed vocals from Lothar Meid.
Man, gotta love this stuff.
'Nasi Goreng' is a Hammond organ heavy jam with strong melodies, and light eastern moments (of course, with a title like that).
The album finishes up with 'Jazz-Kiste', probably the master-piece composition of the album - starring Krautrock keyboard head, Christian Schulze on keys and Embryo’s Edgar Hoffman playing amazing 'wah-wah' soprano sax almost throughout.
Okay, maybe a few whomever's may advise overall that 'Utopia' is not a revolutionary extravaganza, but reality suggests the contents are very worthwhile and ultimately satisfying.
