Bio / Comments : Walter Seyffer founded the group Nine Days' Wonder as early as 1966. Four years later the line-up was: Walter Seyffer (lead vocals, drums, percussion), John Earle (sax, flute, guitar, vocals, from Ireland), Rolf Henning (guitar, piano), Karl Mutschlechner (bass, from Austria) and Martin Roscoe (drums, from the UK).

They recorded their first self titled debut album in the Dierks Studio, January 1971 with the Hauke & Dierks team. This was a fine example of more bizarre German Progressive(/Kraut Rock, clearly inspired by King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Soft Machine, Traffic, Family and Deep Purple.

They presented long, complex suites of heavy progressive riffing, Jazz Fusion, large amounts of free improvisation, neck-breaking shifts of tempo and general insanity on tracks like, "Morning Spirit" and "Stomach's Choise" A fine achievement, if a little difficult to get into.

The original German first issue of the album came in a green foam-rubber cover designed by Walter Seyffer. lt surely qualifies for the top ten list of the craziest sleeve designs ever made and you won't find ONE COPY nowadays with an INTACT cover. ALL copies have been falling apart over the years.

The quite extraordinary and very pricey first pressing was released a second time in Germany shortly after and features the UK "fish cover" created by the legendary design-agency Hipgnosis for the UK release.

When the original Nine Days' Wonder disbanded in 1972, John Earle went to England and joined GNIDROLOG (you can hear him on the classic album "Lody Lake"). Martin Roscoe drummed for a while in 2066 & Then. Seyffer joined Michael Bundt's band MEDUSA.

This is a very RARE German pressing of one of the scarcest and hardest to find KRAUT ROCK MONSTERS.
