KROKODIL Krokodil (Liberty LBS 83306) Groundhogs RARE German 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE German first pressing of Krokodil`s eponymously-titled debut album, "Krokodil" on Liberty Records (1969).
"Krokodil was a Swiss band that emerged in the late 60's as a blues-rock band that put progressive touches into their music. They were of Swiss-German extraction with bassist and guitarist Terry Stevens being the only foreigner in the band, coming from England. Krokodil were regarded as the Swiss version of the Groundhogs due to their eponymous first album. However, from their second album Swamp they started to introduce a psychedelic sound to their music, a sound which is very much dominant on (third album) Invisible World Revealed. (...)
A band not to be missed by anyone who likes blues, psychedelic and ethnic in his music and does not mind them being mingled together. Even though they are tough to find, the first three albums are very much worth the bother." - Progarchives.com
