    It isn't from 1971.

    It's fun and good, but it's utterly fake (just as fake as their beards on the back cover)

    It's a 90s recording.

    I also found this:

    and this

    http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/damenbart

    Biography

    Damenbart is a fake Krautrock band, created in the late eighties by H.N.A.S. members, which released Impressionen '71 with false information about members and recording dates in the booklet.

    Fake members listed are Erwin Bauer (synthesizer, organ, guitar), Bernd Barth (synthesizer, vocals), and Tina S. (vocals).

    Actually this is a well known fact and was never made a secret. Achim P. Li Khan from "Hirsche nicht aufs Sofa" (H.N.A.S.) is behind this.

    I think there was a rare 1 track Mini CD (around 20min) also.

    Brilliant homage, pastiche and parody.

    It is a tribute album to krautrock, recorded in 1989 by H.N.A.S. member Achim P. Li Khan and his then girlfriend Tina Schlebusch and presented as the long-lost 1971 album by Damenbart. Achim P. Li Khan recorded the same year another krautrock influenced album Frau Hansen Am Bass as Brigitte (& The Hansen Experience). Both albums were released by H.N.A.S. label Dom Elchklang on vinyl. Few people had been hooked at the time because there was no krautrock revival then.

    Another krautrock tribute "hoax" is the supposed 1971 album by Mittelwinternacht (it sounds like a cross of Seesselberg and Kluster/early Schnitzler). The author is no other than Phil Todd of Ashtray Navigations and the album was released on his private label Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers in 2004. Very good stuff in its own merits.

    I own the 2nd Nazgul as well. A 1999 released 12inch EP, same producer (Toby Hrycek-Robinson aka The Mad Twiddler). Few know its existence. Seems they kept it on for two years after their 1997 debut.

    There’s also this:



    If you really believe this is from 1974, much less made in Italy, then I have a bridge I’d like to sell you...

    Had it been correctly spelled "Balletti Rosa Di Macchia", I could have bitten that it had been released in Far East Italia.

    Also a funny fake was Magica - "In Search of Mr. Money" a lengendary French Prog Album (that never existed at all)

    You can still find it on some want lists today. (It was a copy trap in a book on Prog from France)

    What? I've spent hours poring through French record shops for that! I travelled to Paris to try and find a copy.

    Those bastards!
