AGITATION FREE - The Other Sides of Agitation Free (1974-1999) RM | WV (image+.cue), lossless

When Burghard Rausch and Michael Hoenig left Agitation Free in 1974, the band was almost in a state of apparent death. Yet Michael Günther and Gustl Lütjens eventually decided not to give up and so, during the autumn and winter of that very year, joined by some new musicians from their scene, they would give it a try in the recording studio. Thanks to Manfred Opitz and Gustl Lütjens, the outcome was a set of rather jazzy tracks which were, however, rejected by Vertigo as being "unsaleable". On "The other sides" these tracks can be heard for the first time, supplemented by extracts from their political-rock radio play "Störenfried" ("trouble-maker"), it too from 1974. Those are rather unusual sounds for a band like Agitation Free, some of the tracks even featuring vocals. After that disappointment the band eventually broke up. GOD
