Electric Sandwich were founded in Bonn in 1967 and played sophisticated progressive rock. Their first gigs were in 1968. At a band competition on 16 October 1971, they shared second place with the Scorpions and impressed so much that they immediately received a contract from Metronome/Brain. The LP, recorded by Dieter Dierks, was released at the end of 1972 (Brain 1018) with an olive-green label. After several illegal reissues (on Germanofon, Hiatus, Ear Ass, Icon, etc.), this legitimate edition has now been released again, taken from the original master tapes. The LP will be released in 2026 (in a gatefold sleeve and with a 68-page booklet), and the previously unreleased follow-up “Lava” (from 1976) will also be released soon.
