FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1970 German first edition on ECM, marked ECM 1006 on the sleeve and ECM 1006 ST on the labels.

What is a ring modulator?
An electronic effect that multiplies two signals, producing metallic, bell-like tones. Dauner used it to process his clavinet and piano as an early form of sound manipulation.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) for the sleeve means light wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
