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 +22,000 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.

ORIGINAL 1970 'PHILIPS' FIRST GATEFOLD PRESS ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
ATOMIC ROOSTER
DEATH WALKS BEHIND YOU
..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
GERMAN - PHILIPS - 6369 005

DELIVERS BRILLIANT AUDIO ... 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"
1970 dark, doomy ripper by ATOMIC ROOSTER featuring soon-to-be HARD STUFF members...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.
The album has progressive rock elements and can be put into that genre, done with heavy dark Black Sabbath-ish tone, categorized as ominous heavy prog. Vincent Crane's ferocious organ skills are outstanding. Showcasing dynamic skills in gushing organ all over the place; the strong songwriter he was. This album is one of the heaviest (not getting real justification)
"Death Walks Behind You", "Tomorrow Night", "Sleeping For Years" & "I Can't Take No More" are heavy giant examples, along with "Vug", "7 Streets" and "Gershatzer" being prog/psych classics.
Never a dull moment, John DuCann's dirty distortion wirey guitar being the perfect ingredient in battling with Crane's organ theatrics 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)
Nobody Else (5:04)
Gershatzer (8:01)
CONDITION:
The cover: rated: near M- The laminated gatefold is far superior to the USA copy ...outstanding group image in centerfold ...remains a collection copy rarity from 56 years back! There are NO faded areas, no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ...

The vinyl: Rated: near M- NICE! also playing clean = and has solid clear Philips labels = enjoy!!

A cool addition to anyone's music library!
