Most (roughly 90 percent) of this album consists of semi-improvisational blues-rock jamming by a three-piece band with no overdubs, minimal talent, and apparently not much rehearsal. The drummer and bass player are passable, but the guitarist/occasional-singer, Wolfgang Orschakowski... uhh, maybe not so much. The album could be said to have "a certain charm," but the recording quality is uniformly poor, the volume levels are inconsistent, the songwriting is non-existent, the microphones used are distorted and prone to clipping, and I'm not really all that keen on the cover art either. Based on all this, you would expect M, NM, or VG+ copies of this album to fetch prices of at least $1,000.00 on the internet, but as of the time I'm writing this it looks like the highest-ever price on Discogs (so far) was only $479.00. This is probably because a US label called "Psycho-Path Records" reissued it on CD in 2002, which makes sense because you'll definitely want maximum-bitrate digital clarity while listening to this material.
