Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of...

re: Armstrong - I believe they used that lp in the Manley/Joseph Audio room a few years ago in San Francisco demonstrating the Pearls and it was pretty awesome as you describe - also voted Best In Show if I recall.

Can anyone ever recall an old 70's german group called "Grobshnit"? My spelling might be incorrect, but my buddy had one of thier LPs, and it was quite good.

The title song I speak of, started out sort of odd, with the chanting La La La-La La La La. The music was killer.

Another obscure LP he had that was very good, was by a band named "Barabas". Gotta ask him what the titles were? Mark

Mark,
Good call..Grobschnitt...great band!!
I have most of their LP's. Not sure which one you may be referring to but their best are;
-Rockpommel's Land
-Solar Music Live
-Jumbo
and their self titled first one is awesome as well.

Hi Jeff, I think the LP was thier title cut first Album, as I do remember the Song "Wonderful Music" being on it.

We had discovered this band late one '70's night while listening to an old great underground Rock Station in Chicago, called "Triad", and I believe the frequency on the dial was 106FM.

My friend later acquired the LP. Not only was the music itself great, but also the sonics were outstanding I recall. I see a CD on ebay, but would truly love getting a sealed LP also as well of thier Title Cut.
I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

As for Barabas, I believe the one song I liked was called "Woman". Again, I'll email my friend to make sure before making any purchases. As you've said though, probably all of Grobschnitt's LPs were great! Mark

Absolutely Crack the Sky, Oilmanmojo!!! Excellent sonics and good music, especially amazing since John Palumbo recorded it in his basement! And if youre into Prog at all, try Spock's Beard. -MrMitch
