CHICKEN BONES<br />
Personnel incl.:<br />
• RAINER GEUECKE v,g<br />
ALBUM:<br />
"Hard Rock In Concert" (priv<strong>at</strong>e) 1976<br />
The title of Chicken Bones' album Hardrock In Concert (1976) says it all! There are six "very<br />
hard rocking tracks" included therein, performed in the good old tradition of the early seventies<br />
heavy progressive scene. Most of the album is instrumental, and offers Rainer Geuecke plenty of<br />
opportunities to reveal his musical skills. The two longest tracks are the highlights: "W<strong>at</strong>er" with<br />
the whisper of the sea and some beautiful acoustic guitar and "Factory Girl" which was in a more<br />
typical hard rock vein. This album has an excellent and well-balanced sound for a priv<strong>at</strong>e release.<br />
The recordings were done in only one week live in the studio - or more probably a barn! Only<br />
300 copies were pressed, so the original is mega rare. Second B<strong>at</strong>tle made and numbered 600<br />
further copies in 1989 when they re-released the album in its original cover.<br />

NB: The first pressings of Klopfzeichen (ca. 50 all in all) were issued in a special printed plastic relief cover. This is now a mega rarity,<br />
worth about 500 DEM. The rest of the edition came in a plain black paper sleeve (folded, i.e. open on three sides), rumored to be only<br />
300-400 in all. Some people say there were only 100 copies of Klopfzeichen totally. For Kluster Zwei: Osterei, a plastic relief cover was<br />
used for the whole edition. In 1980 both these albums were re-released with the same item numbers on Schwann (also limited editions),<br />
but in sleeves totally different from the originals.<br />
The first Cluster album was re-released in 1980 on Sky 047 in a different cover as Cluster '71. Originals of 2 & 3 came on the green<br />
Brain label. 3 was re-issued twice: first in 1978 in the original cover but with the brown Brain label and the number 60.116, then in<br />
1980 on the "Rock on Brain" series with the brown Brain label and in a different sleeve with the number 80.116.<br />
1st Harmonia LP was re-issued in 1980 on the "Rock on Brain" series as Dino (40.123). Originals of 1 & 2 were on the green Brain<br />
label<br />
Hans-Joachim Roedelius must be considered as the grand old man of German rock. He was born<br />
on 20 October 1934, grew up in East Berlin and had reached the age of 34 when he started to
