I am now one of the few, the proud, the owners of a copy of the Jubilee
Edition, KS' 25-CD box set. set me back $350, but at a cost/minute of $0.18,
that's cheap music. every disc is about 77-78 minutes long.
1000 copies were made, they have all been sold. clearly KS got a fair piece
of
income for that one.
I actually think this set is better thank the two previous large sets (10
discs each). the only detractions are Arthur Brown's "singing" and the
interviews in german. I don't care for Arthur Brown, personally, and haven't
liked his previous appearances on KS' discs.
two discs are concert performances of things you've heard before, the rest is
brand-new releases. I think two discs contain actually new material, most are
things spread over the past 25 years. one track is a 24-minute drum solo by
KS!
all very pleasant, much like his other work.
a good booklet with it...with a discog, leading to the following question:
the GEPR book lists three albums that are not in this "official" discog:
"Blanche", "Elektronik Impressionen" and "Rock On". what are these albums?
KS has his own web-site, run by "kdm" as is just about everything else
KS does: http://www.klaus-schulze.com/
the web-site also has the discog, plus some further details, but still
doesn't list these three in the discog.
it does mention a recorded, but unreleased Wahnfried album, and
another Eurock tells me there is a new DSOM disc available shortly.

[OK, some corrections will be in order for the GEPR. _Body Love_ was to be
released in the UK as _Blanche_ but it was never issued. _Elektronik
Impressionen_ is an East German version of _Dig It_ and was released on Amiga
in 1982. _Rock On_ came from a discog that someone e-mailed to me ages ago
but
I can find no other verification. The discog that was mailed to me assigned
it
a catalog number (Brain Metronome 0080 046) but the "Crack in the Cosmic Egg"
Brain discog doesn't list it. Can *anyone* verify the existence of this
album?
It sounds like a greyleg or something released by K-Tel....mt]

the bodhran is a _drum_, so it would probably be kind of hard to get any
kind of "string sound" from it!

Hi Ben, hi all,
the 3 albums by Epitaph *are* available on CD. They are listed in the
mail order catalogue of Record Heaven, Sweden:
http://www.uni-x.se/recordheaven/cgi-bin/Givecd.pl?german
The first one is also listed in the KrautRock Supplement of Delerium,
England:
http://www.delerium.co.uk/freakemp/frkempkr.html
Outside The Law is available from Cranium, New Zealand:
http://www.cranium.co.nz/
As far as I know these CDs are illegal and therefore mastered from LPs
but I don't know of the actual quality. The Germanofon counterfeits of
two Grobschnitt CDs that I happen to own are of very good sound quality
so maybe it's worth a try...
Best wishes
Rainer
