It was another import from Village records. They had a section of imports there imported by Jem records. This is a gatefold cover ,the record is a SQ Quadrophonic recording on the German Bacillus label. Glad I decided to buy it because it has been a favorite ever since. More of a straight Rock album than Krautrock or Progressive as some of their other records(none of which I have heard)are. The vocals by Walter Seyffer are in English sung in a German accent with guitar bass and drums backing him up. David Jackson from Van De Graff Generater plays sax and flute on half of the eight tracks. &#8220;Long Distance Line&#8221; has a middle section of spoken word by Lupo of the band Grobschnitt. The title track has a great chorus while &#8220;Frustration&#8221; sounds Punk, years before Punk was a thing.&#8221;Hovercraft Queen&#8221; is another good song sounding like something from Golden Earring. &#8220;It&#8217;s Not My Fault&#8221;is a ballad and the only song I don&#8217;t care for much. Side two strats with two great rockers &#8220;Time is Due&#8221; and &#8220;The Way I&#8217;m Living&#8221; with a great instrumental break with guitar sax and flute. The last song the 8 minute &#8220;Moment&#8221; is the most Progressive  on the record. With some nice instrumental breaks with flute and organ it ends with some harmonized vocals that I always thought sounded like The Bee Gees. The cover,on high quality cardboard with a glossy finish is in good shape and the record sound really good after nearly 50 years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember looking at this record a couple of times before buying it in 1975.
