Amon Düül II – Wolf City (Vinyl LP | DE Original | 1972)

Amon Düül II – Wolf City was released in 1972 on United Artists and is regarded as one of the most cohesive albums by the Munich krautrock band. Psychedelic rock, progressive structures and Indian colours – sitar and tablas on “Green-Bubble-Raincoated-Man” – meet comparatively compact songs. On offer is the German original pressing (UAS 29 406 I) in a gatefold sleeve.
