About this item

Exactly 50 years after its original release, "Samtvogel" has returned. Günter Schickert used only guitars, echo devices and a modest recording technique for "Samtvogel". The album is a genuine DIY production – radical in every respect and not at all in keeping with the zeitgeist of the time. "Samtvogel" is a particularly important album because it makes it clear what was musically possible in the 70s. There is no doubt that the album is extreme, even though it is of high quality musically and technically. Schickert initially self-released "Samtvogel" in 1974 in an edition of 500 copies.
