DELIVERS EXCELLENT AUDIO ... A solid collection copy!

RARE and sought, laminated GATEFOLD ...arguably the BEST Atomic Rooster album ...it's dark and doomy with killer gushing Hammond organ & dirty distortion guitar all the way through!  

Original 1970 German first pressing in laminated gatefold with superior different cover design over the U.S. copy

"DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU; the 1970 dark, doomy ripper by ATOMIC ROOSTER featuring soon-to-be HARD STUFF members...it's top-rated heavy psych all the way, dominated by infectious tracks drenched in gushing organ, fiery guitar and tight driving rhythms...

Whatta sound !!! Potentially the best Atomic Rooster album and definitely the heaviest. 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, catagorized 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 heavyrock 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....

Death Walks Behind You (7:24)
VUG (5:03)
Tomorrow Night (4:02)
7 Streets (6:47)
Sleeping For Years (5:30)
I Can’t Take No More (3:36)
