FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. The album was only issued in this 1977 German edition on HÖR ZU / EMI Electrola.

What does Media "close to NM-" / Cover VG mean?
The record sits just below NM- (Near Mint minus), close to new with minimal marks. VG (Very Good) on the sleeve means clear signs of wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

What style of music is it?
Big band jazz with a rock and funk rhythm section: horn sections, electric guitar, electric bass and congas, short originals by Kamien and two well-known standards.
