Listed in the Krautrock top 100 in "The crack in the cosmic egg" by Steve and Alan Freeman. Originating from lower Saxony, the musicians of Sand were like many Berlin bands, being people drawn there by the unique possibilities Berlin had to offer. An early incarnation, as a five piece band, were known as P.O.T. (Part Of Time) who toured extensively, and settled for a while in Cologne, but never released anything. So, as a trio (without the bassist or drummer) Sand were formed in 1972 when they moved base to Berlin. Inspired by the spirit of the scene in Berlin, they went out of their way to be as original as they could. Sand only made the one album: GOLEM, which has remained a little-known obscurity, due to being issued as one of the special projects organised for the Kunstkopf demonstration series on Delta-Acustic. Notable for being produced by Klaus Schulze, and also the unique creation of combining cosmic synthesizer, folk and rock musics, sans drums or any conventional instrumental structures, GOLEM is a mystical album rich with the creative spirit of the era. A little hint of Pink Floyd here and there, and obvious Schulze influence, are the only references I could quote as pointers. A really trippy album, with swirling string-synthesizers, cosmic electronics, beyond the nether regions of cosmic Witthüser+Westrupp. Magic! Ludwig Papenberg (guitars, organ, drums, choir), Hannes Vester (vocals, VCS3), Ulrich Papenberg (bass, percussion, choir), + Christian von der Schulenburg (electric piano)

I use the M/VG/G grading system in which the first grading is for the record and the second grading is for the sleeve. If you do not agree with the grading, the item can be returned and the money will be refunded.
Shipping from the Netherlands to outside Europe will be $10 for 1 vinyl disc, $14 for 2-3 vinyl discs and $18 for 4-8 vinyl discs. This will be by standard mail which takes about 2 weeks to reach you. Airmail will be more expensive. Priority shipment within Europe will be a little bit cheaper. I will always calculate the actual postage fees + US$ 1 for packaging materials.
I will pack very carefully. I will take the records out of the sleeve to prevent split-seams. I put all discs in inner sleeves with a soft inner plastic coating.
