ACHIM REICHEL LP ORIG ZEBRA KRAUTROCK VERY RARE

DESCRIPTION:  TRIPPED OUT INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDS AND JAZZ/ROCK EXPERIMENTS WITH AN ASHRA TEMPEL EDGE BY THIS LEGENDARY UNDERGROUND FREAK FROM THE '70S GERMAN HEAD SCENE. ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN 1974, THIS IS ACHIM REICHEL’S FIFTH EXCURSION FEATURING HIS ECHO-GUITAR. A COLLECTION OF GROUP AND SOLO RECORDINGS, THIS WOULD BE HIS LAST STUDIO ALBUM OF THE COSMIC MIND-BLOWING STYLE. GERMAN SINGER, SONGWRITER, MUSICIAN, AND PRODUCER, ACHIM REICHEL ENJOYED A LONG AND VARIED CAREER THAT BEGAN DURING THE BEAT BOOM OF THE 60S, WHEN HE FOUNDED THE RATTLES, AND CARRIED ON WELL INTO THE NEXT MILLENNIUM, BY WHICH TIME HE WAS STILL RECORDING ALBUMS AND PERFORMING LARGE-SCALE ROCK CONCERTS. BORN ON JANUARY 28, 1944 IN WENTORF BEI HAMBURG, SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, REICHEL BEGAN HIS MUSIC CAREER IN 1960, WHEN HE, AS A SINGER/GUITARIST, FORMED THE RATTLES WITH BASSIST HERBERT HILDEBRANDT IN HAMBURG. THE BAND, ALONG WITH THE LORDS, PROVED ONE OF GERMANY’S LEADING BEAT BANDS OF THE DAY, TOURING ENGLAND WITH THE ROLLING STONES IN 1963 AND TOURING GERMANY WITH THE BEATLES IN 1966. REICHEL LEFT THE BAND IN 1966 AFTER SEVERAL ALBUMS, INCLUDING TWIST IM STAR-CLUB HAMBURG (1964), LIVERPOOL BEAT (1965), AND HURRA! DIE RATTLES KOMMEN (1966), AND SUBSEQUENTLY ENTERED THE BUNDESWEHR (I.E., THE GERMAN ARMED FORCES). UPON REICHEL’S DEPARTURE FROM THE MILITARY, HE FORMED ANOTHER BAND, WONDERLAND, WHOSE DEBUT SINGLE, MOSCOW (1968), WAS A TOP 15 HIT. NEXT HE FORMED THE EXPERIMENTAL SOLO PROJECT A.R. & MACHINES, WHICH DEBUTED WITH DIE GRUNE REISE (1971) AND FOLLOWED WITH A SUCCESSION OF KRAUTROCK-FASHIONED ALBUMS: ECHO (1972), 3 (1972), 4 (1973), AND AUTOVISION (1974). IF YOU ARE A FAN OF EARLY ASHRA TEMPEL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT ACHIM’S FIRST FIVE ALBUMS.

Normal wear and tear on the cover, or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (US version of this term: VG): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits etc.
