ESSEN 1970

Live album from the original lineup featuring 3 extended tracks ( 2 from UFO and 1 from Hinten) . Guru Guru prove that their music did indeed have some structure at this early point in their career as they recreate these live tracks quite remarkably on the live stage. The only reservations I have about the disc is the poor sound quality, it almost souds like a high quality bootleg. However, a piece of German rock history and a valuable addition to a comprehensive Krautrock collection. Considering all their live appearances in the early 1970's it is suprising that nothing was released until this was hauled out of the vaults. The 1997 edition of the disc features a Uli Trepte solo performance.
