FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – the 1973 German original on Ohr (OMM 556 031) in a gatefold sleeve. Our guide Krautrock rarities: how to spot original pressings explains how to recognise Ohr originals.

Is "Atem" a quadraphonic recording?
According to the sleeve it is a quadraphonic production, but the record itself plays in stereo or mono only.

What does Media NM- to VG+ / sleeve VG+ mean?
Media NM- to VG+ means: between NM- and VG+ – very well preserved with light traces. Sleeve VG+ means: Very Good Plus – light signs of use that barely affect play or appearance. All grades follow the Goldmine standard – details on our Vinyl Grading page.
