^Thanks for letting me know that, Michael; good news is that there exists a large poster of the Spartacus cover that was released in record stores way back when. (though it is hard to find, now)

Triumvirat-Spartacus poster
Ha, Doug, I meant to reply on Facebook to you about this!
I once bought this off Ebay...expecting a nice decent sized `poster' to get framed for a wall or door....turns out what I got was barely much bigger than a pamphlet! It seems the term `poster' is open to interpreatation!
Still nice to have, but a huge letdown it was all the same!

vDie Fahrtwindorgel - Triumvirat (1975)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUr_UBndhD8
[Jürgen Fritz speaks:] This is an air-resistance organ, which we bought during our last tour in Berlin. They are available as installable sets for various models of cars. Actually it's enormously practical, because on a long tour one can practice while travelling; and if something, a composition, occurs to me, I can immediately play it. [Gestures to Hans Bathelt, who is driving] Hey, Bubu, stop a minute, we want to show how it works. [The car stops and Jürgen Fritz opens the side door.] Now this is the keyboard of the air-resistance organ, and at the front [cut to view of front of van] is the air intake, [cut to view of hose] which goes through this thick hose into the organ, which can then be operated. Naturally, one can buy installable sets for all kinds of vehicles; you lay the hose in with two or three screws, [view of hands on keyboard] and then you can play. The whole thing is actually a fairly simple matter. Now this is how we do it: Most of the time we drive at night, because then we have enough speed to provide enough air so that the organ functions properly. When you're driving in a city you have to keep stopping, then there's no air flow, and then no sound. Bubu here has a sense for the right speed to provide enough air so that the instrument works well. I can only say, try it yourself, the air-resistance organ is a neat thing. Bye, see you later! [Jürgen Fritz closes the door] [view of hands playing the organ] [view of the van driving]

Found this on youtube today, featuring Jurgen Fritz and Hans Bathelt, and a woman from 1975-only video of Triumvirat members from that year I have seen.

I just found out on facebook that the site for former Triumvirat singer Barry Palmer/Triumvirat/Mike Oldfield and Maggie O'Reilly has been re-titled "The Barry Palmer/Triumvirat Appreciation Society". There are going to be some new developments in Barry's musical career in the near future, and I will keep folks here posted on this. Nice to hear of this, for sure.

A new PA member, profmesser, has mentioned to me he has a master tape from a radio station of Triumvirat in concert dated "Dec. 18th, 1974" as part of a radio broadcast. He said the sound quality is very good. I will keep PA posted of any future developments on this.
My PMs with him have disappeared, for some reason, and he is no longer listed as a PA member. Very odd.
