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! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1970 ORIGINAL GERMAN PRESSING in laminated gatefold cover ...
The 49 years ago first issue on the Philips label is pressed directly from the British metal masters, licensed in 1970 when the record was first released in the UK and Germany.
The GATEFOLD art design follows the B&C UK recording issued the same year. Arguably the BEST Atomic Rooster album ...it's dark and doomy with killer gushing Hammond organ & dirty distortion guitar all the way through!

"DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU" the 1970 grimacing-forboding ripper by ATOMIC ROOSTER featuring dominating infectious tracks drenched in gushing organ, fiery guitar and tight driving rhythms...
Whatta sound !!! Definitely the heaviest Atomic Rooster. Though the album has some progressive rock elements and can be put into that genre, it is done in a very heavy dark Black Sabbath-ish tone, categorized as hard heavy prog. Vincent Crane's keyboard playing is outstanding. He showcases his dynamic skills with gushing organ moves all over the place, and the strong songwriter he was. This album is one of the heaviest progressive rock albums in history and one of the best (May even be considered one of the first Progressive heavy-rock albums). "Death Walks Behind You", "Tomorrow Night", "Sleeping For Years" & "I Can't Take No More" are hard rock treats and "Vug", "7 Streets" (with the very heavy organ intro) and "Gershatzer" are prog/psych classics. Never a dull moment, John Cann's wirey guitar (which is drenched in the dirty distortion sound) is the perfect ingrediant in battling with Crane's organ throughout this gem.
