Kraan – Starportrait – 1973/75 - Double Album - Germany - Krautrock, Jazz-Rock, Prog Rock - vinyl - 16-48 - alac - Spiegelei – INT 155.600 - 1978

DR12

I decided to post this marvel especially because 5 of the 16 songs on this double LP, from their first two albums, are available online only in shamefully compressed formats...

If anyone has the vinyl rips of the band's first two albums, also @320 and wants to share the link, that would be fantastic!

Enjoy!
