        @GraemeE such an incredible album. When I bought this original pressing about 10 years ago they could be found in NM condition for $30 bucks. Not the case anymore. Some more recent represses out there now.

          Amon Düül II - Phallus Dei

          This here is the remastered reissue from 2009.
          Beautiful pressing and great art reproduction.

          There is a lot of text on the inner sleeves included. Here are a few excerpts:
          ETERNAL UNDERGROUND
          Amon Düül - God, what a legendary name, what an incredible group! If there was ever such a thing as a living legend in rock music's relatively brief history, then clearly Amon Düül is a fine example. Amon Düül is the band which is regarded - to the present day and for all generations to come - as the epitome of the curious yet pioneering phenomenon known as "Krautrock". Founded in 1967, this chaotic and inspired collective who regarded themselves as a "commune including eleven adults and two children who did everything together, including among other things, music".
          They also became the first band to make the bizarre "Krautrock" movement become known outside of their native Germany.
          It was at the beginning of the 70s, when the more creatively inclined Amon Düül Il had risen out of the prehistoric sludge of Amon Düül, like a phoenix from the ashes. All of a sudden, the musicians from Munich's traditional artist quarter Schwabing found themselves on the covers of English music papers such as Melody Maker and New Musical Express. Prior to Düül, nobody from the UK seriously took notice of events happening over in that musical desert called Germany. Up until then, most Teutonic rock 'n' rollers tried to emulate their Anglo/ American idols in a well-behaved but clumsy manner. However Melody Maker wrote in 1970, "Amon Düül Il is the first German group whose music can be regarded as a contribution on its own to international pop culture." In the same euphoric way renowned DJ John Peel, who became a big Krautrock enthusiast across the channel, played those "Teutonic sounds" on his radio show all day long. No wonder, Peel was always looking for exciting new music - and Amon Dütil gave him just that. In the band's early works such as "Phallus Dei" and "Yeti", orgiastic and psychedelic sounds were combined with fanatic surrealism. Pompous and bombastic Wagnerian arrangements would often duel with the lyrical and more delicate folk similar to Incredible String Band, all taking place against a backdrop of improvisation - something that turned many Düül songs into epic tracks clocking in at over 20 minutes. "Improvisation was everything", mastermind Chris Karrer recalls with a mischievous smile almost forty years later. "We had no time for lots of rehearsals. We acted on the principle: whoever has to rehearse probably needs to. Life was much too exciting at the time to retreat to ones' silent little chamber and solely focus on the music."…

                  @GraemeE It sure is. The bonus live tracks from CBGB/Maxes are fun.

                    @Jett129 does that mean, by association,
                    that you had involvement in these albums as well?

                                  Beatiful @GraemeE, hard to find a favorite song.

                                  There's nobody there
                                  In the misty dawn that surrounds the town
                                  The world is speechless in the morning …

                                  Love “Karmic Dream Sequence #1”, because I have a sweet spot for the instrument ‘koto’.
