The Cosmic Jokers: same 1974, Italy/Die Kosmische Kuriere-PDU Pld. SQ 6012. Disc is M-, cover is M-, this is like new! Jaw-dropping shape on this iconic 45 year old Krautrock album! Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and his girlfriend Gille Lettmann were the principals behind the Kosmische Musik, Ohr, and Pilz labels (imagine having that on your resume!). There was no "band" called The Cosmic Jokers... this was a name attributed to a series of LPs produced by Kaiser and Lettmann in 1974 made up of previously unreleased studio recordings. What we have here is a patchwork of informal studio demos recorded by the ubiquitous Kosmische Musik crew including Ash Ra Tempel and Wallenstein members Klaus Schulze, Manuel Gottsching, Jurgen Dollase and Harald Grosskopf which were masterfully molded into two side-long acid trips by renowned engineer Dieter Dierks. You can check out the sounds on YouTube by following this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzJhoAXLmjM

Everything I offer is guaranteed. I try to note any flaws so that there are no surprises when the box arrives. Be sure to view my other iamthewitch auctions as I have some other interesting items up for grabs this week.

I ship all records in strong cardboard mailers with cardboard flats added to increase stability. The discs are always removed from the jackets to prevent seam splits, and all albums are dressed in plastic sleeves for travel. Please be aware that these supplies are expensive to purchase and may represent a small portion of my shipping charges. I pack/ship one day per week, usually it is Friday.
