Ah, Stratosfear thats the ONLY tandream I have on vinyl. Great album, embraced the era, but stayed the same. Your cover shown of Rubycon is different from mine-different colour...Hey!

The Rubycon cover above is also slightly different from mine. It's just a different shade of blueish.

TD stuff I have on vinyl: Zeit, Phaedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, Stratosfear, Encore, Sorcerer, Cyclone, Force Majeure, Tangram

You really need their debut "Electronic Meditation" from 1970, organ/guitar driven psych/kraut, reminiscent of Floyds "A Saucerful of Secrets". That's way better than their later new-age stuff. I pretty much like Phaedra, but their post-Phaedra material really isn't that appealing (perhaps except for Force Majeure).

Don't you grieve, Post Atem TD, the virgin issues, aren't that difficult to get hold of, in Denmark they usually cost around 7-10$, and there's plenty of them. If we are talking about original German pressings of their first couple of records on the German Ohr label, then it get's interesting!   

Now playing:

I do have "Electronic Meditation", albeit not on vinyl, only on cd. Interesting album it is, I won't say I like it more than their new age stuph though...

Glad that you say "only on CD" CD is SUCH an inferior format, I never buy CDs unless absolutely nescesarry.

Electronic Mediation has recenlty been reissued on 180g quality vinyl, you can get it new for 13€ Here, I strongly advise you to get your CD replaced. The original Ohr pressing has the value of (according to "Cosmic Price Guide to original Krautrock records 2006, 2nd ed.") 140€!

Now playing:

First Pressing on black/white virgin label, just found it today, FANTASTIC music.

Really?! I have an original copy of Electronic Meditations on vinyl - I'll have to check and see if it is an Ohr pressing.

Currently have close to 1000 progressive rock LP's, many of them imports (European and Japanese)

Still play them too!

Lucky you, I've been collecting for 2 years and nearing 300 pieces of vinyl.    

Well, according to this book

the mint value of "Electronic Meditation" should be 140€, but I've personally never really seen it for sale, but I've done a quick research on my own:   

http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=electr onic+meditation&thumbs=

(Only the second is a first pressing!)

There you see what it's been sold for on online auctions, a m- goes for around 72€, but it's just one case (which also tells about it's rarity), I'm sure under the right circomstances the record could be sold for much more if it's in perfect condition, a vg+, which is a very normal condition for a 30+ year old record taken normally good care of, cuts the value in half!   

The catalouge nr. of the first pressing must be: "Ohr OMM 56004" and not "Ohr OMM 556004" that's a second pressing! If "Pop-Import" is printed on cover, it's a reissue. And if it includes an Ohr promotion balloon, add 150€ to the value.

Well, hope I hope for you, that you have a first pressing, it's always nice to own rare first pressings.

 

Now playing:

 

Midnight Sun - Walking Circles (1972)

Great Danish jazz-influenced prog-rock!

A light layer of dust.  I don't seem to use the thing much these days.  I've transferred my hard-to-find records onto CD, and mostly use it to transfer any new discs I come across.

It's great looking at and handling the large album jackets.  Probably the best combination is listening to a favorite album on CD, while looking at the record jacket from the same album, for full effect.  You just can't get the same effect from CD versions of say, The Lamb, Living in the Past, Stand Up, etc.
