Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

"BLUE APPLE"
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
Germany ~ NOVA Records - SDL 8002 (stereo)

Extremely-scarce and sought (1974) first print in fragile GATEFOLD cover ... "GIFT" were ever far-better than this cartoon-ish designed art offers!

.................................................................

Featuring underground Hard Psych (KRAUTROCK) via expressive energy :
The 2nd release from this heavy hitting 70s German progressive rock crew Rampaging organs and twin guitars are all over this thing, making it a must-have.
GIFT offered Hard Krautrock, Prog & Psych styles in similar with British early-70's classic hard-underground bands
Great sounding tunes are up tempo with two-driving guitars and organ interplay - which is all over the place. What you'll find here is a mix of 1970 era Deep Purple, Night Sun, Gomorrha, Epitaph, Birth Control,
Dies Irae
Easily one of the best - most collectors like GIFT's "Blue Apple" better than their highly acclaimed $$$ valued first LP "GIFT"
