SIDDHARTHA 'Weltschmerz' LP (Germany, Garden Of Delights, Catalogue #LP 013) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited vinyl edition (edition of 1000 copies only) of Garden Of Delights label LP issue of 1975 album "Weltschmerz" by German progressive rock band Siddhartha.
"Siddhartha were formed in 1973 in Korntal near Stuttgart. They were named named after a novel by Hermann Hesse. They performed an intelligent mixture of progressive and art rock influenced by psychedelia and folk. Although their 1975 album is called Weltschmerz, all songs have English lyrics apart from 'Weit weg.' It was released in a limited edition of 400 copies and is one of the most sought after collectors' items. However, copies have always been hard to find. A 30 minute demo tape of Siddhartha which was recorded after the release of their album has disappeared. This vinyl re-issue on Garden of Delights comes with the original cover artwork and has a four-page insert in LP size."
'From The Stuttgart area, Siddhartha's origins go back to 1971, as a few students friends hatched the idea of creating a blend of psychedelic and art-rock musics. In 1973 they became Siddhartha (taking their name from a Hermann Hesse novel) as a part time band whilst continuing studies at university; Siddhartha had an unusual style, with strong nods in a Pink Floyd cosmic direction, yet featuring violin, almost punky song writing along with symphonic and folky instrumental touches, they had a style of their own, but it wasn't easy to describe! Try as they did, they couldn't find a record company interested in their odd music, and thus they issued WELTSCHMERZ as a 400 copy pressing. The band continued until late 1977, but never got to release any other music.' - The Crack In The Cosmic Egg.
