Sleeve Notes
Lazarus (1971 – 1976) history is full of several changes in musical styles and lineups which contributed to the remarkable development of the band. Their repertoire ranged from pure guitar-music and covers to complex self-composed songs.
The first highlight was the 1973 LP-recording of our psychedelic-rock-opera „Lazarus“ (reissued in 2013), the result of the creative collaboration between Helmut Sacher and myself, the band and a bunch of friends.
1974 was marked by numerous musical experiments and band-settings (2 drummers, saxophone etc.), which didn’t really end up in successful results.
In 1975 we asked my younger brother, Ernst Glatzl (then 17 years old), to join the band as its singer and bass-player. His outstanding bass-playing perfectly matched with the rest of the band (Helmut Grössing/drums, Ferry Pint/keyboards and myself/guitars). We used this chemistry and began setting up a repertoire of self-composed songs to reach out for a special kind of style.
The live-recording and the demos in the present case were discovered on tapes which were thought to be lost. They‘d been waiting for discovery in a basement for more than 40 years – the very last resurrection of Lazarus?
