FRAGILE
A: Lonely Preacher
B: Our Song
[RITTBERK 1-04/74, GERMANY]

HOLY GRAIL TIME I can't find any info at all about this incredibly rare 7". It seems to be a TOTALLY UNKNOWN german private press release from 1974. Runs at 33 RPM and features two sides of heavy, heavy prog / psych / proto-metal. Have a listen below! Two long tracks (a-side is 8:10 and b-side is 6:49) with incredible instrumentation and great intense vocals. I have included about 5 minutes from each side in the soundclip below. In amazing M- condition.

The people involved that are mentioned on the labels are "A. Hoffmeister", "W. Rittmeier" and "D. Berkmann" (the label name obviously comes from the two latter surnames). I can't trace these people to any other groups. And I can't find any mention of this 7" ever being sold earlier on eBay. A total and utter obscurity.

Sleeve condition: M-
Vinyl condition: M-
