From my own vast private collection gathered over last 45+ years ...these mostly from 1973 - 1978 I had my own Record Store here in Northern California in the 1970's and 80's -and bringing in wonderfully vibrant and amazing Progressive Rock Imports was a top specialty and priority - I was (still am) so nuts about this music that I had 3 different evolving weekly Radio Programs dedicated to it over 20 years - and loved nothing more than turning folks on to these bands and immersing myself and my audience in these exotic sounds. Now it is finally time for me to pass them on - my hardest LPs to part with, some 8 boxes of which I shall be listing throughout this Spring. Many of the leading progenitors of the 1st progressive era, but quite a few more obscure but no less amazing artists of the period. . *Sadly I am NOT FAST at listing and can only get around 50 up at a time, but they will keep on coming approximately every other week (as I pause between, to focus on top level packing and immediate shipping) so keep checking back.
This leads me to the subject of "collecting" purchases for combined shipping for further purchases, which some ask for. I am happy to save LPs that are purchased for up to 30 days IF YOU ASK Me to - but I MUST receive payment within 7 days of initial purchase. I honestly cannot afford to sell these and not get paid by big buyers for 30 days. I would be absolutely ruined - so payment must be received within 7 days of purchase. Your note on your PayPal payment to HOLD items for combined shipping later (no more than 30 days out) will guarantee their being saved aside for your further bidding. When you state that you are done, your invoice will be revised to reflect complete shipping discount at that time. If you DO NOT ASK me to hold, it will Ship within 24 hours. CHECK MY FEEDBACK, I am ALWAYS 100% RELIABLE on this. International bidders note that any package over 4 Lbs. (usually 5 to 6 LPs or more) MUST ship by PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL. US Post Office no longer ships above that weight at the lower, slower 1st Class International rate. . The vinyl here is in uniformly spectacular condition (Most being EX+ to NM) always extremely carefully handled. Some of the covers have minor issues - a small handful have significant issues, but the great majority are in VG+ to EX+ condition. Almost everything offered here is Original 1st Press - Full Details for each given in Description below.
SPECIAL NOTE: I had planned SOUND CLIPS to accompany many of these listings, but the online AUDIO FILE host/management site I use has now gone bust, NEVERTHELESS, I (not knowing) did indeed record a slew of sound clips. If you are curious on any of these, ask me  - and if I have made the short mp3 samples for it, I will try to get it to you.

Original 1975 issue LP

VINYL is EX+
Full gloss, very close to NM with small, faint scuff at beginning of side 2, otherwise Like New. Labels are superb both sides.
.
COVER is EX
Fragile, raw stock, rough textured cover is extremely clean and crisp, flat, unfaded and straight edged all around. A bit of wear at lower corners only and light corner crease at top. Seams and spine completely intact with no splits.
PLEASE NOTE: small "spots" seen on cover are actually part of the raw stock material, inherent in the paper pulp itself; these are known as "slubs" in printing industry - and they are found on all German original issues of this LP. This is NOT any kind of soil or defect. some folks are aware of this, but some are not, so I mention it solely for clarity.

Next to Einsjager & Seibenjager this is my favorite POPOL VUH album; with Djong Yun's stunning vocals having clearly reached the apex. The deft use of Sitar and Tabla here along with a deeper use of electronics than previous LPs all came together to make this one of their crowning achievements. 

POPOL VUH at this point was: Florian Fricke - Keyboards and Electronics Daniel Fichelscer - Guitars, Percussion Djong Yun - Vocals  ...with guests Alois Gromer - Sitar Shana Kumar - Tabla Frank Fiedler, Robrt Wedel - Electronics ?.
ESSENTIAL POPOL VUH!
