Yeah, it's down. The copy I purchased is now set to "Private" in my Bandcamp account and I can't download the files anymore. Fortunately I downloaded them the minute the transaction went through...

Do you have the full line-up? Was wondering if Sharrock was with him again (def his apprentice work on the ESP-DISK, but wondering if they did more, when he could play a bit more).

I haven’t been able to find a definitive listing of the personnel (there may be one out there; I’m just lazy), but Sharrock isn’t on it. The drummer I believe is J.C. Moses and, as I posted upthread, Bill Dixon produced, and played piano on one track.

Also a 4CD reissue:
Four CD version. Includes two remastered versions, each on two CDs. Four-CD version includes two remastered versions, each on two CDs; first remaster by Dierks/Flüchter and then a completely different mastering by Dieter Wegner, who has already remastered many albums of the krautrock catalog, including the albums of the Cosmic Jokers.

that rules, always wanted to hear that since reading about it in Krautrocksampler

you can hear it on YouTube, it sounds like a mash-up of Ash Ra Tempel & Amon Duul II. really cool and definitely something I've always wanted to own. plus the intro where he introduces the band is (accidentally?) hilarious

yeah I'm super stoked, this has long been on my wishlist

Just found this posted elsewhere today:
Mechanical royalty rates are calculated in a completely different manner for European labels, so what may be possible for European labels is not viable for U.S. labels. There's a reason why European labels can include a ton of songs on a disc and sell it for a low price, or sell 4-fers for the cost of a single disc, or do box sets with tons of great content for a low price, while U.S. labels cannot do the same. The law in Europe is that the mechanical royalties (the money paid to the songwriters) are calculated and paid as a percentage of the wholesale price of the disc. If the wholesale price of the disc is $8, the amount paid in mechanical royalties would be the same whether the disc had 10 tracks or 50 tracks. In the U.S., it's a statutory rate paid per song -- and a 32% increase in that statutory rate just went into effect this year.
I vaguely knew that royalty payouts were higher in the U.S. when they included more songs on an album (one reason why U.S. versions of U.K. albums in the '60s had less songs), but I didn't realize how much of a difference that made in the CD era.
