Formed in 1967, this obscure Salzburg, Austria combo released their only 45 in April 1969 on the tiny VRC label, but what a monster 2-sider it is, with both sides written by bass player, Hannes Stiegler. Fantastic 12-string riff and sumptuous harmonies combine on the topside, while the groovy flip has an almost traditional folk vibe to it, but filtered through a sugar cube. A planned follow-up, "Nick Nack Man", only got as far as the test pressing stage, and the band eventually folded in 1971.

Over the years, various tracks have appeared on compilation LPs (most recently in 2023 on "Schnitzelbeat Volume 3"), but this is the first time in more than 50 years that the single has been released in its entirety!
