News: Gunter Schickert's "Samtvogel" to be reissued soon?


In what has otherwise been a real slow year for reissue news, it was great to see this comment from reader Achim in my last posting for the Francisco album. Schickert's "Samtvogel" is one of the last of the "biggees" to yet see a CD reissue. Important Records is the chosen label for the CD (Wah Wah for LP). Important doesn't usually get involved with reissues, and there isn't any details on their website (nor Wah Wah's), but since the gentleman behind the band Holy Sons is directly involved, I'm excited to see this news!

Hi again!

At least Wah Wah has officially announced this release! See:

There are also some online shops that list the LP as available soon, e.g.

Hi Meidad, No date has been given, though the Wah Wah LP reissue is now out. So it shouldn't be long.
