Information

Format: LP
Label: Garden Of Delights
Genre: Psychedelic, Progressive

Kalacakra's "Crawling to Lhasa" is one of the few German psychedelic classics. Their 1972 LP has become such an attractive collectors' item (today's value is 300 euros in mint condition) that several bootlegs have appeared on the market. The legitimate LP release on the Garden of Delights label is limited to 1000 numbered copies, housed in gatefold sleeve and contains a 4-page colour insert in LP size, featuring a detailed history (in German and English language) of the Duisburg band and their community together with a detailed discography, cover and label repros, and numerous photographs, which reflect the sombre, stoned atmosphere of the record in a perfect manner. "Raga no. 11" is probably the best track, with "Nearby Shiras" reflecting the most psychedelic aspect of the band's music. It is about the Black Plague raging in this Persian town hundreds of years ago."
