Excalibur - The First Album (Reissue) (1972/2007)

Excalibur were a very British sounding rock trio, at the more mainstream end of the Hamburg sound, though they also had many uniquely German touches and some experimentation, giving them a unique character. There is at least one classic slice of Krautrock amidst the more normal songs, but it's mostly of interest to those into the German twist on the hard-rock style.

We assume that LP guest musician "Gorilla" could be Achim Reichel, and thus "Lemmy" may well be Lemmy Lembrecht, as certainly there's a touch of Achim Reichel eccentricity in some of the instrumentals. Incidentally, the bassist on the "Why Do People Cry" single was Bernd Zamulo from The Lords and Sitting Bull. Their HELLS ANGELS ROCK contributions are rumoured to be their finest. Maybe we'll find out one day?
