These astounding recordings from 1968/1969 is empirical proof that these Germans were just so far ahead of the game.

The Stooges, who are often regarded as the granddaddy’s of punk didn’t record their debut until 1969.

This fantastic record, which I knew nothing about prior to its recent release, is way way beyond all expectations.

It is a beast of a record, raw and mesmeric.
