In the CD programme Psychedelic Gems, psychedelic and progressive bands and their background are featured bands, whose overall output of published or unpublished material would not be sufficient to justify a CD on their own. Most of them played during the late sixties and early seventies, having published no more than a demo tape or a single, which is why several of them are presented together on one CD. Each group – so far all of them coming from German-speaking countries – is accorded a full-page colour picture of the cover of their single, a band history in German and English and, if space is available, a photo of their label. In contrast to bootleg labels such as Visions of the Past, Electrick Loosers or Prae Kraut Pandaemonium, all licenses were legally obtained from the artists or their record companies. Overlapping releases are therefore nothing to be surprised about. Together with the one of the Garden Of Delights series, the collected booklets will constitute a comprehensive anthology of so-called Krautrock, a detailed complement to the two fundamental publications “The Crack In The Cosmic Egg” by Steve Freeman and Alan Freeman and “Cosmic Dreams At Play” by Dag Erik Asbjørnsen.
