Great lost band from Frankfurt, Germany. In 1973/1974 Papa Zoot Band played all over Germany, mainly in clubs but also on festivals. Titles 1 to 4 were recorded live at SWF-Studio U1 in Baden Baden on April 13, 1973. Titles 5 to 10 were recorded at "Bunker", the bands rehearsal room in Frankfurt. They played a very melodic sound but with a sense of drama comparable to Nektar, Eloy or Jane. Outstanding nearly 18 minute titles "Fly away" could be a long track. Characteristic for the bands sound are especially the swirling organ sound played by Ex-Nosferatu organ-player Reinhard "Tamy" Grohé. These recordings show Papa Zoot Band during their best period. Hard to believe, that there was no record company to give them a contract. The sound of the CD is brilliant. All titles were remastered from the original master tapes. CD comes with comprehensive booklet and rare photos.

Jane is a German progressive rock krautrock band, that was formed in October 1970 in Hanover, Germany. Together is the first official album by the  band, Jane, released in 1972.

It features prominent organ work by Werner Nadolny, guitar solos by Klaus Hess, and the distinctive, emotionally raw vocals of Bernd Pulst.
