The Cosmic Jokers are a little problematic. They "released" three
excellent albums ("Cosmic Jokers", "Galactic Supermarket" and "Planeten
Sit-In"), but perhaps "released" is not the right word. They contain
material that was never meant to be released. Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser,
manager of the lables "Ohr" and "Kosmische Kuriere", tried to exploit
the interest many people had in Krautrock and published their albums
against the will of the musicians.
The 4th album listed in here, "Sci-Fi Party", is a sampler of some of
these outputs and of "Gilles Zeitschiff", another output with the same
musicians.
One should always be aware of this when listening to this music.
