RECOMMENDED (UK):
FAUST: The Wumme Years: 1970-1973 5CD (RER FB1). "The ultimate
collection from the legendary inventors of krautrock. This 5 CD set
contains all Faust's early classic albums, a John Peel session, and
unreleased early material. The 40 page booklet is stuffed with
unpublished photos, stills from Super 8 footage from the famous
studio at Wumme, and revealing interviews with many of the key
players in the Faust story. CDs: Faust (the famous clear first
album), So Far (the famous black second album), The Faust Tapes (for
the first time ever with a track listing), 71 Minutes (The Last LP
and Munic and Elsewhere LPs), BBC Sessions (classic radio session
plus substantial extra material). Interviews include band members
Jean Herve Peron and Jochen Irmler, with a memoir from Blegvad.
Reclusive producer Uwe Nettlebeck and legendary sound engineer Kurt
Graupner speak here for the first time. Many of the photos
illustrating the book are from private collections, and have never
been published." This box set is a limited edition and it's long term
availability is not likely. The enclosed albums will be available as
individual CDs in the future, but the booklet is exclusive to this
box set. $65.00
