Astarte is an ancient Mesopotamian Goddess of love and dates from 2000 BC. She is symbolically connected with supernatural mystery and sex. She is also the archetype of the Great Mother and corresponds to certain feminine deities in other places of the World. The front cover shows the famous Danish dancer Vivi Flindt "dressed" as Astarte. She was featured in a ballet written by Flemming Flindt and Knud Poulsen. The music on the record was composed for that spectacular show. Vidunderlige Kælling is a great album by Secret Oyster and it fully showcases the incredible talent and compositional range within the band."



RYM:

" The music on Vidunderlige Kælling was composed simultaniously with the tracks that would make up the 4th full-length studio album by Secret Oyster called Straight To The Krankenhaus (1977), but it´s obvious when listening to Vidunderlige Kælling, that the music they wrote for the ballet was meant for a more structured setting than the band´s usually more jamming approach. There are also more classical influences in the music than usual.

LP Grading

Mint: NEW and unplayed. These are new albums ..opened but never played.. or they are sealed.
NM (Near Mint): Pretty much perfect in every way. Albums that have clearly been well cared.
EX: Almost NM, but may have a few minor imperfections (like sleeve marks), which will be noted.
VG+: Cover or record has obvious wear. Record may contain light background noise depending on quality of pressing. Cover has flaws that we’ll detail.
VG: Vinyl has marks and will play with light (even persistent) background noise in various spots. Cover might have a split or heavy creasing.
G+: Vinyl is scuffy and has lots of marks / scratches. Plays with per persistent background noise, sometimes louder than the music, but usually not. Should not skip or stick though. Cover has many problems that will be detailed.
