BOKAJ RETSIEM
Personnel incl.:
• RAINER DEGNER g
ALBUM:
"Psychedelic Undergrond" (Fass WY 1532) 1969
Mr. Rainer Degner, previously the guitarist of the sixties beat group German Bonds, had a
passion for the old German children's song "Meister Jakob". In fact, this is also the real name of
this studio project (with session musicians), but due to the arrival of psychedelia, strange things
were happening, and the letters 'bokaj retsiem' must be reversed to make any sense! Degner's
album included some absolutely perverse arrangements of "Meister Jakob", but also some great
acid guitar parts in the typical late sixties style. One of the few German psychedelic albums in
existence, and for this reason a quite interesting and uncommon item! Members of The Rattles
also contributed to this album. It is also worth mentioning that his old fellows in German Bonds,
Peter Hecht and Dieter Horns, also made several strange albums under pseudonym beside their
normal career in Lucifer's Friend.
