LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Virus, from the Bielefeld area in Westphalia, were the best and most famous local progressive group there in the early seventies. In 1970, they won the well-known competition in the Recklinghausen Vestlandhalle - still under their old name of Man's World. The first prize: Recordings for their first own LP, under the direction of sound magician Conny Plank. That LP, 'Revelation', was released in 1971 and is partly reminiscent of the early Pink Floyd, e.g. in the final part of 'Endless Game'. The picture disc edition is limited to 1000 numbered copies and comes with an LP-sized 16-page booklet.
