1978 album on Ariola with beautiful field recordings of bells of West German cathedrals and churches.

condition (record/cover): NM / EX-

The West German commercial version, Heimat in the title, sold to people who had left the villages where the bells still rang: Bavarian and Swabian church bells recorded for Ariola in the sixties and packaged like a Volksmusik record. Together with the Eterna and Melodiya discs it is as good a short course in the Cold War as any documentary: three countries, three relationships to God, one sound.

Heard without the politics it is a fine bell record, warmer and more reverberant than the East German one, with the village acoustics left in. Ariola pressing.
