If Ash Ra Tempel must be included on a top 10 of a Krautrock list,them add Cosmic Jokers to your favourite Krauts bands,as they are a supergroup.
Former Ash Ra Tempel leader,Manuel Göttsching,was walking and come to a record shop in Berlin,and listen an album playing.He heard a cosmic-jam session,
“What record is it?
Oh,it´s the Cosmic Jokers,lp”.
Manuel looked at his own photograph on the back sleeve,also pictures of Hurgen & Harald from Wallenstein,Dieter Dieks,and Klaus Schulze.
The lp was fantastic,two jam side freak-outs,with a lot of wha-wha phase guitar,Mellotrons and synth effects
Rolf& Gille Lettman made this fabulous trip mixing those cosmic-jam sessions,and did those Cosmic classics albums,“Planeten Sit-In”,”Cosmic Jokers” and “Galactic Supermarket”.

Notes
French issue on the Cosmic Music label distributed by Barclay / CPF, released in 1975.
Original Copyright with Ohr Musik is 1974.
I can do recordings to be transfered in digital source
the most rare original pressings,are hard-to-find albums than often sound far superior to any reissues.Instead to pay an audio engineer,new labels use a quick mastering process than loose dynamics and destructive audio,to save money.
I have submitted masters to record labels and released digitizations with quite good dynamics.
If you have a piece of vintage audio that you would like digitized,please contact me.
