THE COSMIC JOKERS Planeten Sit-In (1974 German 13-track SQ quadraphonic LP, fully compatible with conventional stereo systems, laminated picture sleeve. Amazing German space rock from the band that never was! Studio owner Dieter Dierks invited various different musicans linked to the Krautrock scene including Klaus Schulze and Manuel Gottsching [Ash Ra Temple], the wine flowed, long studio jams were recorded and the results were then edited down into what became the three studio albums released by the 'band', legend has it that Gottsching first heard the results when in a record shop the following year! However, all three albums are much revered and include all manner of studio trickery, tape effects, primitive synth action, percussive workouts and more. The sleeve on this copy is graded VG as there is some noticeable edge scuffing, shelfwear and a slight corner crease to the upper left-hand corner although nothing too excessive with the sleeve remaining fully intact, the vinyl is strictly graded VG revealing a number of scuffs and hairlines but these are largely cosmetic and should not greatly detract from play - overall a more than acceptable play copy of a very rare Kosmiche classic KM58.013).
