ASH RA TEMPEL Schwingungen (Ohr OMM 556020) Manuel Göttsching German 1st Pressing MINT!
Here`s a RARE original German first pressing of Ash Ra Tempel`s "Schwingungen" on Ohr Records (1972).
Ash Ra Tempel`s second album and their first without Klaus Schulze…who was to return for the release of "Join Inn" (1973); of which, incidentally, we have an equally stunning copy up for sale!
By the second LP, Schwingungen (Vibrations), Klaus Schulze had temporarily left the band to record his mighty epic solo album Irrlicht (…). In the meantime, Schwingungen saw Ash Ra Tempel going through its cosmic Stooges’ Funhouse stage, complete with Mathias Wehler on wailing alto sax, in the Steve McKay tradition. The line-up was augmented by their road manager Uli Popp on congas, and Wolfgang Müller on drums, and came on like an organic freerock blitz. Side one features ultrafreaky singer John L., recently sacked from Agitation Free for being just too much of everything. And on the awesomely tragic 12-minute “Flowers Must Die”, John L, pre-empted John Lydon’s PIL wail with a seering death‘s head drama that never has failed to bring tears to my eyes. The words, like so may translated rock‘n’roll lyrics, have a vivid and dignified poetic truth in their delivery that transcends the hippyspeak in which they are written:
“I see when I come back,
From my lysergic-day-dream
Standing in the middle
Of the glass and neon forest
With an unhappy name: City
Flower must die…
I want to be a stone, Not living, not Thinking, A thing without warm blood in the city.” (Review by Julian Cope)
GRADING:
MINT- COVER with a few very minor creases and a bent corner (rear cover, at bottom left). Lightest discolouring of front sleeve, at top right. Also has a minuscule tear (cat`s sharp claws?) in top-left corner of the front sleeve; please see the photos for details.
MINT(-) RECORD that looks absolutely unplayed! A very, very rare find in such amazingly pristine condition: No hairlines, no spindle wear, no scuffing, nothing.
Miss out on this one at your own peril!
