AMON DÜÜL - Psychedelic Underground

LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES Gatefold LP With Inside Pocket "Some albums just have the perfect name, and Amon Duul's debut nails that perfectly; Psychedelic Underground is music at its most experimental and relentlessly uncommercial, using late-'60s inspirations as a launching ground for what came to be described as Krautrock.
