Description: I bought this copy in the early 90ties from the estate of a GI of the allied US-forces in Berlin who left the city after the fall of the wall.

Extremely rare “private” LP released by the US army in 1971. There are rumours that there are only around 15 copies in existance.

Excellent raw & deep funk supplied by “East of Underground”. Excellent versions of Curtis Mayfield’s “Is there a hell below”, Norman Whitfield’s “Smiling Faces and more. Sounds like raw stuff on an obcure 45.

Unlike the reissue, the original record is a double album where East Of Underground is paired with the group Soap, what makes the second LP an phantastic psychodelic Rock album in its own right.
