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. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

- ORIGINAL 1972 RARE "OHR" RECORDS COLLECTIBLE
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- XHOL
- ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
- German - OHR Records -
- Original 1972 sought and very scarce now acid-jazzpsych Krautrock adventure on the famous OHR Records lavel, forerunner to the Kosmiche Muzik progressive rock sector -
- turning on at the cusp of 1970.
- Xhol's last studio release is certainly the one with the highest portion of Krautrock atmosphere by them and a highly psychedelic-underground one. Actually three of the six tracks on here consist mainly of acid revelations whereas the other three depict brilliant jammin' jazz-rock done in the best tradition of UK Canterbury bands gone the way of Krautrock formalities. BTW it is worth mentioning that the material presented here has been recorded in 1970 which is shown by the label "2 years old" on the cover. Taking this fact into account this band certainly has to be considered as one of the most inventive and adventurous Krautrock glories of those days.
The album starts quite oddly with tuning of a radio and interference, bits of announcements and excerpts from some soul/blues songs (all of them from their debut still under the name Soul Caravan). The last one reminding slightly to SOFT MACHINE leads over to "Leistungsprinzip" which is basically jazz-rock in Canterbury vein with organ, droning bass and drums. Next one "Orgelsolo" is exactly what it's titled that is a quite extended spacey and "kosmische" weird solo on great sounding organ. Last song on side one "Side One First Day" is a rather up-tempo jammin' piece of jazz-rock with organ, flute, bass and drums.
- Second side starts with the next sound experiment "Grille" which is actually just the recorded sound of a cricket with some discrete flute and percussion in the background. The rest of the record is occupied by the long jammin' piece "Love Potion 25" which is actually a jazz-rocking rendition of a song from 1959 drenched in acid psych prog.
- Lead is plenty of slightly psychedelic organ + great spacey sax playing in its middle part and quite a fiery rocking finish, the highlight offers a kind of final reward for listening to this far-out post beatnik/flipped-out album.
This strangely-strange album is certainly not suitable for every Prog fan and might be considered as acquired taste, at least in its experimental parts = highly recommend it to any fan of Krautrock and adventurous music.
- ESSENTIAL EARLY GERMAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK!

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) easily rated M- if not for the usual lamination peeling on back cover - all lamination is there just peeling up. We may be able to correct this but as of now, it is as located, and VERY minty clean otherwise with 4 sharp corners to the extremely delicate cover from 49 years ago. There are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...
- The vinyl: Rated: VG++ to do with inner sleeve type nothing much hair scuffs over very bright vinyl appearance. Expect "Excellent" audio performance, suitable for most any collection. Then both OHR labels are entirely clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
