Lo-fi, schmo-fi - Chadbourne sure didn't gave a damn then, and so should we. Koglmann and Chadbourne together in the end of the 70's... makes me curious. And I'm very grateful to you for sharing it, Nick - I don't know anyone else who pulls items such as this out of the hat.
Thank-you
There's another cassette released by EC with the same title but recorded later!?! But with the same line-up.

'Karlheinz' is most likely Karlheinz Hein - which is a bald guy as described by EC. He had a space in Munich called LOFT, located at the Friedensstrasse.
I've attended this place at a former industrial site only once in the 1980s when Johannes Bauer, Joe Sachse and Dietmar Diesner gave a very nice concert.
The discogs entry is somewhat misleading. The Loft was a concert space. Later Hein and Frei organised concerts at various locations. And they founded the Munich Jazz Festival which is known better as the 'Münchner Klavier Sommer'.
The Loft-Studio was founded later. And as I realise only now the bureau/contact is only a few hundreds meters from where I live. It seems it belongs solely to Manfred Frei.
But the small village were I live - called Gauting (one of the alleged places were Charlemagne should have been born - there are about three dozens "birthplaces" of him in Europe) was also the first location of the Siemens-Studio für elektronische Musik up to 1959.
We see - there is a connection between Eugene Chadbourne, the Franconian kingdom and the European origins of academic electronic music....
Thank you Nick.
Hi Ernst, 78-9 was the era of the concert and I am assuming 1991 was the year EC got the tape and put copies out.
Considering your description I was expecting a worse sound than what it is... Not too bad. Chadbourne's playing is really out beside the almost melodic sound of Malli and Kogmann. This recording will demand me repeating listening. I have followed your suggestion about Geh' Langsam Durch Die Alten Gass'n, after checking some sound clips on itunes I found a physical copy on the second hand market.
Hi Nick, yes your suggestion does make sense.
BTW - there's an video excerpt of the Sam Rivers Trio (w/ Dave Holland and Thurman Barker) live at the LOFT in Munich from 1979.
