We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

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.

1. Leading off with, '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 this distinctive voice.
2. 'Wolf-Man Jack Show' is a weirdly cool song, with "Embryo" organ wizard Jimmy Jackson on the mysterious 'Choir Organ' (giving off a odd sound, more than Mellotron choirs), which he actually utilized on many tracks here all to good effect. The bass riff here is snatched straight from Beatles' 'Come Together'. 
3. 
   'Alice' is a sweet love song. Care-free and up-lifting, and has Amon Duul's Lothar Meid playing Mellotron flutes. Maybe reminding of (Soft Machine) Kevin Ayers early UK moves on this one.
   
4. 'Las Vegas' is a hippie jam with congas, jazzy winds and a cosmic nose-flute ! 
   
5. '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 extremely acid-strange 'vocal' from one acid-head Rolf Zacher which makes it a perfect example of Krautrock.
6. 
   'Utopiat No.1' is another hippie jam and features groovy-sound & very searing organ gushing from both Jimmy Jackson and Falk U. Rogner.
   
7. Next comes Amon Duul's Olaf Kubler toying around with a Moog Synth, and bizarre echoed vocals from Lothar Meid.
   
   Man, gotta love this stuff
   
8. 'Nasi Goreng' is a Hammond organ heavy jam with strong melodies, and light eastern moments (of course, with a title like that)
   
9. The album finishes up with 'Jazz-Kiste', probably the master-piece composition of the album - starring Krautrock keyboard head, Christian Schulze and Embryo’s Edgar Hoffman playing amazing 'wah-wah' effected soprano sax wonderfully mixed in.  
10. 
    
11.  All said, this LP is worthwhile and most likely ultimately satisfying.
