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 HEAVY KRAUT PSYCH WINNER!
- 1973 FIRST PRESS & HARD TO FIND

- "Made In Germany" - Bacillus/Bellaphon - BLPS - 19144
- KILLER Underground Krautrock ((ACID PROG PSYCH))
- Total solid sides finds these (1973) obscure German heavies on the driving rampage, led by bustin' loose twin guitar fire- winds, locomotive bass & drums and quite capable vocals without accent...
- yeah, yeah, back in the early 70's record companies eager to jump on the then popular "glam-rock" wagon, pushed this talented heavy kraut-psych band into changing their real group name: MONSUN into LILY and showcasing the band with freaky make-up with visual flash of the times. Surprise when this album is is nothing less than killer heavy prog psych !!
- All along "LILY" were a high octane scruffy crew looking for a break but falling through the cracks due to overflowing hard rock talents in those 'heady' early 70's days.
- Better understanding, the LILY album titled "V.C.U." (We See You) is progressive & hard rock injected by long trippy passages making for a classic krautrock rarity worth finding.
- Produced by the legendary German underground producer Dieter Dierks, LILY were
Wilfried Kirchmeier on bass/vocals, Manfred Schlagmuller on drums, Hans-Werner Steinberg on wind instruments, Manfred-Josef Schmid on guitar, and Klaus Lehmann on second guitar ... no organ or other additives. Very close to the likes of "Out of Focus" LP 'Wake Up' & "From Books & Dreams" (the Message album) The tracks are all pretty long with obscure, psychedelic vocals, powerful rhythms that include monster loose soloing from guitar and jazzy blends giving the album a free-flow edge. Overall the material is extremely tight based on varied tempos and lyrical weirdness ala ''Eyes look from the mount of flash'' with density & powerful executions. Lily kept it going until 1976 with line-up changes, the first to leave was Manfred-Josef Schmid, who passed away in a mysterious way following a fragile state of mind and they never recovered when their label cleared away a lot of great heavies in 1974, ooking for more commercial "money" music. - By the way, too bad when LILY "2" (second album) was recorded and shelved very much in the same vein as this LP, now their only album.
