Great 7" and anecdote to boot. I always thought the flipside was one of his greatest compositions.

Please tell what Bands LP used an illustration by Olga Rozanova. An original copy of Sammelalbum, meaning Sketchbook can be about $100 - $300 depending very much on condition. It is the one with a woman playing with a crocodile printed on the cloth boards. As for my newly acquired treasure, I paid the son of his mother about £!!!!.00. She bought it from Boots in Streatham, 1971. She played it once and she deserves every single £ for looking after it so well. Check out Heinrich Kley. Genius.

I now have an original copy of the LP. There seems to be a broad church of opinion that the LP was banned because of the sleeve illus. I can't find any evidence of this. The illus is by German Heinrich Kley and translated, title 'Gesellschaftsspiel' is 'Parlour Game'. The illustration comes from a book first published in Germany about 1920 called Sammelalbum. However, the image came from a Dover edition from about 1961, Kley was dug by Walt Disney and remained popular in US culture.

@deepindercheema I couldn't imagine this being originally banned. Some record retailers might not of stocked it back then. Re. cover illustration. I seem to remember an LP that reproduced a litho illustration by Russian Futurist, Olga Rozanova. It was exactly as it was in a 1919 book published in St Petersburg. If that was sourced from that book, that book is now a $3000+ book which is really an ephemeral item and very fragile.

this album really sounds prog, rather than psych.

[minutegongcoughs]

@defaultoasis I suppose you're right. The original LP will certainly empty your wallet.

There are 2 tunes here - the first is that Daffodil? the second is off the Den of Iniquity LP, when Norman Haynes(sic) appeared on BBC Shropshire Record Collectors he said that one of the reason for the demise of the LP was there was no guitar! This here has one of the great guitar bits laid down at Abbey Rd in 1970!

Tx for the info. I added DOI to show the contrasting styles. Who selected the artwork for the cover?
