Wow Nick thank you to have answered so fast to my request. I haven't listened it yet but wanted immediately to thank you for this share. Checking the small catalogue of this underground label this one was the most intriguing to me because I know few of the musicians playing on this record.
This one seems also interesting

I was sure that you had some of those rare lp.

After a first listen I can say that it is a great record, my request was based on simple curiosity about some names that were a bit known on this record; curiosity can be a good thing. On the side a and the first track of the side b it makes me think as if the Brotherhood of Breath have meet the Willem Breuker Kollektiev or the Harry Miller Isipingo have meets the Ulrich Gumpert Workshop Band. Will Menter obviously continues to produce music but very different, and apparently he lives in France now.
