Ihre Kinder, formed in 1968, and were the pioneers among the politically and socially engaged groups in Germany.
Their second album Leere Hände was originally released on the legendary KUCKUCK label in 1970.
The English version, called Empty Hands, has never been available on vinyl. There was a small number of white label copies pressed by Deutsche Grammophon in 1970/71 to solicit releases by Polyram companies around the world, but as there was no interest, the label dropped the idea.
So, now it is the first time ever, that the English version of Leere Hände is being pressed on vinyl, with the original Kuckuck label and number, the original tracklisting order and the cover as it would have been adjusted for the English version.
A great German progressive psychedelic effort, which sounds different and familiarly great in English, that should be part of every serious 70s progressive rock collection.
Limited edition, deluxe 180g vinyl, printed innersleeve.
