Description
It’s really not a stretch for Manuel Gottsching, who released a number of top-notch space-rock works, to release an album like E2-E4, which is different from, but definitely related to, his well-known style. As Crack in the Cosmic Egg puts it, “The mainstay of Ash Ra Tempel and Ashra., Manuel Göttsching also recorded one album that was not issued under that banner. E2-E4 is a meditative piece that Manuel recorded for fun, an opus for rhythm machines, synthesizers, and guitar. It has since become a benchmark of ambient and techno fans!” Recorded in 1981 but released three years later, many people have cited this hypnotic album as a classic of its genre, one that has become a favorite with DJs and highly sought after. Clocks in at almost 55 minutes! Released in Germany on the Inteam label in 1984, this is the original press and comes in an embossed cover. I’ve read that only 1000 copies were pressed. The cover is in VG+ (price lightly written in small numbers on cover) and the record is in M condition. (For more info on my grading system, click on the “me” icon above.) For LPs by Ash Ra Tempel and Ashra, see my other listings.

Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $16.20 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages). Yes, I do combine shipping so if you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage! Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs.

International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
