..
FRANZ K
Rock In Deutsch
GERMANY - ZEBRA - 2949 - 014
MINT - TOP COPY ... includes the scarce plastic lined ZEBRA inner sleeve
Very Rare ... seldom seen available, thee original 1973 "ZEBRA" label pressing of a formidable heavy-rock guitar trio ... one of the buried Krautrock trasures from the early '70s ...
On the road since 1969 the power trio made every concert into a happening. "We want to ensure that You listen to us, thinking about our lyrics and maybe do something." These were the seventies!
Following to the 1971 debut album "Senseman," "Rock in Deutsch" ("Rock in German") was published in 1973 by Zebra. With the hearse, which adorns the front cover of the album, Franz K. was Constantly on the road in the Germany. Similar to its British counterpart, the Edgar Broughton Band, social criticism was packed in German texts backed by a raw heavy-guitar trio structure. The band shot against militarism, consumer greed, injustice in the workplace and met precisely the taste of students and apprentices then. Today you have to smile quietly over the choice of topics which more than ever apply forty + years onward. The band was far forward in their stance then and was one of the most popular live bands in Europe.
Here then is the seldom seen, seldom offered Original pressing published on the Zebra Label in 1973, an item that now reaches top prices in collector circles.
MICK HANNES (guitar) and the brothers PETER and STEFAN JOSEFUS (bass / drums) offered an excellent mix of progressive blues and raw hard rock. With the song 'Mackie Messer' Franz K deliver a furious hard guitar-riffing boogie which basically extends the style of the entire album along with critical lyrical attacks on capitalism, consumerism, and politics determining the content of events.
