We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

Spawning of "KRAUTROCK" as it became.....
Vintage Vinyl, captured in time
300 COPIES PRODUCED 1970
K L U S T E R Ah...melodic creativity, what definitive joy... certainly Conrad Schnitzler Dieter Moebius & Hans Joachim Roedelius had a vision ... a vision representing future days Kluster were a Berlin-based German experimental musical group formed in 1969 by Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Conrad Schnitzler, and Dieter Moebius. Hello "CLUSTER" the improvisational Krautrock-SPACE prog works presaged to later industrial music, and far more... The original K L U S T E R was short-lived, existing only from 1969 until mid-1971 when Conrad Schnitzler left and the remaining two members renamed themselves Cluster....
KLUSTER founded by Conrad Schnitzler, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and Dieter Moebius in 1969 participated in the founding of the Zodiak Free Arts Lab in Berlin in 1968 and had worked together in the avant-garde groups Gerausche (literally "Noises") and Plus/Minus. The trio met when Moebius was working as a steak chef in Berlin, and was invited to join a band by Roedelius and Schnitzler. The band was based in West Berlin.
The trio first performed at the Zodiac Club in Berlin that year and were billed in early performances as Ensemble Kluster or The Klusters. Interview, Schnitzler recalled: "...it all started at the "Zodiac Club" in 1969 because there was something THERE and Roedelius and me played with Moebius then using instruments, amps and echoes , including a lot of feedback and all these crackling sounds." In addition to violin, flute, piano, cello, percussion, and tripped-out organ the trio also used alarm clocks and kitchen utensils as instruments...and naturally what they would come up with was unlike anything heard before ! This "Klopfzeichen" now supreme rarity was released in November 1970 on the Schwann label. The BLACK plastic embossed cover, includes a multi fold-out insert. Only 300 copies of the original LP were pressed - and sold. Here is one of the 300, startling Mint because the black custom thick embossed cover contains NO scrapes or scuffs ... pin-point BEAUTIFUL museum quality TOP COPY GOOD LUCK ever SEEING BETTER, ever....
