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. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance 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. Please keep in mind 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 became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI 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.

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS
GROBSCHNITT
ILLEGAL
\ GERMANY - BRAIN (0060.365)
TOP COPY + PHOTO INNER SLEEVE
SCARCE ...Original first pressing rightly titled "ILLEGAL" by GROBSCHNITT, who were one of the leading pioneering KRAUTROCK bands, issuing a handful of adventurous acid-progressive albums with more than a creative twist in their compositions...these guys could out space-rock the best including Hawkwid & Pink Floyd...
- Stefan Danielak (Wildschwein) / lead vocals, acoustic & rhythmic guitars
- Joachim Ehrig (Eroc) / drums, sound effects
- Volker Kahrs (Mist) / keyboards, synthesizers, backing vocals
- Milla Kapolke / bass, acoustic guitar, backing vocals
- Gerd-Otto Kühn (Lupo) / guitars
- Toni Moff Mollo / vocals, percussion
- Nuki Nuk / tones
"Illegal" is one of those albums that may very well keep you coming back to time and time again. Both sides are filled with the unmistakable sound of classic GROBSCHNITT....flowing guitars and keyboards mixed with very strong vocals (in English) put to great progressive rock moves all over the place. "Mary Green" in particular standing out as the band's best track released post-Solar Music Live. Among other highlights are the eight-minute title cut "Illegal" and the beautifully played "Raintime". The music within is much more accessible than many of the underground prog acts of this time period. All songs are very well constructed and represent some of GROBSCHNITT's most complete and acclaimed work ever.
