Description
This is the RARE PSYCHEDELIC PROGRESSIVE (UNDERGROUND) ORIGINAL LP GERMAN GROUP YATHA SIDHRA (A MEDITATION MASS)GLOSSY GATE-FOLD DIE-CUT COVER 1974 ON the green label BRAIN (1045).This group was responsible for creating one of the longest tracks of the early seventies.Their continuous meditation mass clocks in a just over 40 minutes.And this makes Yatha Sidhra one of the few bands that only got one track released,since this was their only release!The band was from Freiburg and was led by Rolf Fichter,who wrote this mass,sang and played moog,electric piano,vibes,guitar and flute on it.With him were Klaus Fichter (drums,percussion),Matthias Nicolai(12-string guitar,bass),and Peter Elbracht(flute).They acquired a recording contract with Brain,probably due to their relationship with Achim Reichel,who produced the album and wrote a poem for the cover.Reichel had a growing interest in such meditative music then,which also is slightly evident on his own solo albums for Brain,Zebra and Polydor.The cover of A Meditation Mass is worth mentioning-it's a detailed ,oriental mantra painting.the original front cover had a stencil cut-in for the writing.The mainly instrumental music was relaxing and had some very prominent flute parts.Rolf and Klaus Fichter resurfaced in 1980 as the duo Dreamworld. Condition of record and cover is M-, after 30 years of age it's in extremely nice condition.For shipping and handling US and Canada $ 9.00 because of the heavy weight of the record and the gate-fold cover,for worldwide airmail shipping is between $10 and $17 depend on the weight after packaging.The payment must be sent with two weeks of auction closing date.I accept $US INTERNATIONAL money order or cash in register letter.Please e-mail for any question you have and don't forget to check my other auctions.Good Luck!
