Notes

---

This is a 1975 release - the first of three - from this dual guitar, vocals, bass and drums German band. "Their debut, Roxy Elephant, was more typical of the German & British progressive style of the era, with the focus on multiple guitars, dynamics with rock songs, ballads, hard-rock edged, yet also afire with space-rocking instrumental breaks." NYRVANA PANCAKE was formed in the early 70s in Germany. They released one of the best psychedelic singles of that era and shortened their name in 1975 to PANCAKE. Though "Roxy elephant" doesn't feature keyboards, one can clearly hear symphonic echoes. They went on to produce two more albums: "Out of the ashes" (1978) and "No illusions" (1979) The first of three - from this dual guitar, vocals, bass and drums German band.

Nyrvana Pancake were founded in 1970 at Winnenden, a town located close to Stuttgart. They released one of the best German psychedelic singles, nothing else more. After having shortened their name to Pancake, they released three LPs: “Roxy elephant” in 1975, “Out of the ashes” in 1978, and “No illusions” in 1979. Their style, as well as their line-up, often changed. The only one of the line-up who stayed until the end was Walter Negele. Drummer Günther Konopik left after their first LP. He went to Anyone’s Daughter, where he remained for some years. Though on “Roxy elephant” there are no keyboards, one can clearly hear symphonic echoes. The first edition of “Roxy elephant” is traded expensively. Reasonable good priced is, in comparison, the re-issue on Blubber Lips (of 1978) which is more often available.
