LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

originally released in 1976"

Necronomicon from Aachen are known for their LP "Tips zum Selbstmord" from 1972 which contains very tart lyrics in German. It was released in a complex fold-out cover and is today traded at about ?1000 in mint condition. You have to beware, however, of counterfeits. Some until then unreleased tracks of the group appeared on the quadruple LP "Vier Kapitel" ["four chapters"] in 1990. In 1976, there was the first split of Necronomicon; that same year, however, also saw the band's reunion, partly with new artists. They now used English lyrics instead of German ones, and the lyrics weren't by far as critical as they had been before. The tracks were shorter, the music somehow more complex. The CD "Strange dreams" contains ten until then unreleased tracks recorded at rehearsals and three from a gig in Herzogenrath in 1976."
