AMON DUUL II 'Yeti' 2 LP UK LIBERTY 1ST PRESS 1970



AMON DUUL II

'Yeti'

Amon Duul's first masterpiece and one of the defining early albums of Krautrock

The first disc opens with "Soap Shop Rock," a 12-minute suite that recalls King Crimson's early work in the way it switches easily between lyrical, contemplative passages and a more violent, charging sound, and continues through a series of six more songs in the two- to six-minute range, from the ominous, threatening "Archangels Thunderbird" (featuring a great doomy vocal by mono-named female singer Renate) to the delicate, almost folky acoustic tune "Cerberus."
The improvisational second disc contains only three tracks, closing with a nine-minute stunner called "Sandoz in the Rain" that's considered by many to be the birth of the entire space rock subgenre. A delicate, almost ambient wash of sound featuring delicately strummed phased acoustic guitars and a meandering flute, it's possibly the high point of Amon Düül II's entire career

Cover Description / Condition: Outer Textured Matt 'EJ Day' Gatefold Sleeve. Heavy wear to top half of spine resulting in a split. Spine text is still clear and fully legible further down the spine. Textured surfaces have a few scuff marks and a little ring wear. Inside is clean and unmarked. GOOD
Label Description / Condition: Nice and clean with a few light spindle marks. EXCELLENT

Vinyl Condition:
Visual: A few light marks which do not affect playback and the surfaces have a lovely deep gloss. EXCELLENT
Audio: As you would expect from a quality early 70's first press it sounds SUPERB. Plays beautifully with a bright, clean, warm sound. Nothing much to fault it - one or two very light clicks nothing more. No scratches no jumps no pops - WONDERFUL. A definite NEAR MINT audio. A real shame it's let down by the worn sleeve, but still, to find a first press at all is a rarity and to find one in such fantastic condition is virtually impossible.
