Between's 1972 album, first released on Vertigo: long drones with Eastern touches, close to Popol Vuh and the Taj Mahal Travellers.
*2024 stock* A truly astounding piece of work that towers on its own in the history Krautrock and Kosmische, reissue of Between's 1972 masterstroke, "And the Waters Opened", levels the playing-field and melts the mind with its sounds. First released in Vertigo in 1972 and often regarded as Between's most exotic and beautiful opus, it is a huge droning masterpiece with oriental nuances that might recall Popol Vuh, Fripp and Eno or Taj Mahal Travellers. A classic album from the early German 1970s scene!

Packaged in a jewel case with clear tray and 24-page booklet.
There is also a sticker on the rear case with slightly different printed barcode (this also means you can't see the SPARS Code on the tray card).
* Wrong information on rear tray inlay and booklet pages 2 & 3. Tracks 2 to 7 were actually originally published on LP on [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1241260]Vertigo 6360 612[/url] in 1973, and not released on LP by Wergo Spectrum until 1981 as [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1839721]SM 1014[/url].
Almost identical to [r=2339497] except this Repress doesn't mention Sony DADC in the matrix (also has different SID Codes).
Also, the barcode sticker is different.
