ACHE: Green Man   -  LP

1971 Philips    -   6318 005

Grade Vinyl: EX          /          Grade Cover: EX-

Up for auction is the ultra rare Danish printed LP released on Philips (6318 005) in 1971. Original gatefold cover.      

This rarity is graded: EX/EX-. Vinyl is EX, very nice, plays perfectly. Cover is EX- due to only very little edgewear. (see scan).

Ache started in 1968 heaving their roots in the hippie subculture of Copenhagen. They played a mixture of beat, symphonic-rock and classical-rock with strong organ and guitar interplays. Ache was said to be Danish equivalent of Procol Harum but its music was also under influence of Van der Graaf Generator and The Nice (great combination anyway!). The first album The Homine Urbano includes only two compositions. On side A there is a title track composed for ballet (performed in e.g. Copenhagen and Moscow). On Little Things (that covers the whole side B) the musicians started working in 1968 and since then they developed it piece by piece. According to them the composition is about little things that exist around us. It is slightly better developed than The Homine Urbano and must-have not only for symphonic-rock proggers.

Ache were planning to create Ache Rock Theatre an artistic event. This idea, unfortunately, failed due to lack of money, but music on their second album Green Man(except track Acheron) comes from that show. Compositions on this record are shorter (none exceeds 9 minutes) which enabled musicians to present more diverse material. Some tracks remind of the previous album (Equatorial Rain, The Invasion, Acheron), some are more like hits e.g. beautiful Shadow Of A Gipsy or titled Green Man. The last composition is Ache-ish cover of The Beatles' We Can Work It Out.

Torsten Olafsson said in 1971 about their music: When listening to music you may sometime imagine sceneries on situations appearing from far away, from sub consciousness, and when experiencing sceneries or happenings you may as well put sounds or music to them; and in both ways picture and sound will be linked together, and you will always believe them to belong to each other". Ache soon disbanded but in 1976 reformed in different line-up and recorded two albums. The first rock opera Pictures From Cyclus 7 is said to be a better one.

A MUST for the ACHE/Danish Prog Rock collector. Good luck!

We use the official GOLDMINE GRADING RANKING when grading vinyl:

SS (Still Sealed): Still sealed in its original shrinkwrap.

M- (Mint Minus): The record appears new, but a closer look reveals that it may have been played. Flawless.

EX (Excellent): A record in really good condition. It can have some minor scratches maybe some light scuffs from contact with the inner sleeve, but nothing that affects the sound.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): The record will have appeared to have been played, and have some visible wear (lines, light scratches, scuffs...ALWAYS DESCRIBED!), but the record is playable.

It is very rare that Accord sells items under the VG+ condition. It only occurs if the item is of special interest to collectors.
