Not to be confused with the more well known band from 1970. Technically the band is known as Androméda.

I've only heard the debut to date.

There exists LP and CD reissues, both apparently from vinyl. In this part of the world it's difficult to know what is legit and what isn't. Creating the entry as it certainly fits the purpose of this site.

These are his early albums. Ratzer was to release many more but I haven't heard them. Not sure they fall into the scope of this list as Finger Prints is marginal as it is.
