Album Info

Release Date: 1973

Label: Ohr

Similar to this version, but has a different message in the rectangular box on the lower right of the front sleeve; 'Eine Empfehlung des Sternenmädchens'.

This must be a repress from 1973:
Sound magazine and label figures Kaiser/Lettmann were fighting:
In its edition from April 1973, the magazine reported on Timothy Leary’s layover in Switzerland.
As a reply Gille Lettmann published a press release (she called in an “open letter”):
“They publish hate instead of joy. ... By doing this, Sounds turned against Leary and the principals of joy. In favor of fear, horror and CIA. We predict: This Sounds is dead.”
Then a new edition of this release was printed.
