{"title":"Atco Records","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eATCO Records started as a sub-label of Atlantic Records and later became a subsidiary of East West Records America. Under the leadership of label president Sylvia Rhone, ATCO was temporarily folded into Elektra Records. In 2004, Elektra Records was shut down but in 2008, ATCO Records reemerged as a subsidiary of Rhino Records, Warner Music's reissue label. The new titles released by ATCO are often reproductions with the original label featuring an *ATCO* sticker for authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom January 1967 to the end of 1968, Atlantic Labels including ATCO had their pressing plant codes added to the Master numbers on labels. However, there were variations in label printing depending on the pressing plant used. In 1968, a set 'radius print standard' was established for all plants except Shelly Products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe label name appears as \"ATCO\" only from 1968 onwards.

The first of these is that the recording of this album signalled a short-lived reunion of sorts for most of the members of the original Amon Düül -- vocalist Renate Knaup-Kroetenschwanz, guitarist\/vocalist Chris Karrer, guitarist John Weinzierl, drummer Peter Leopold, bassist and string arranger Lothar Meid, and synthesizer guru Falk U. Rogner (sisters Helge and Angelika Filanda and Ulrich Leopold were lost ion the world of hippie communes and did not return for this outing). The second reason is for the opening cut, \"I Can't Wait, Pts. 1 \u0026amp; 2,\" which has to be the first boogie rock cut in rock \u0026amp; roll history. Elements of Krautrock, German prog, and a full-on Los Angeles-style horn section turn this loopy, 11-plus-minute cut inside out more than once with the lower than dirt growl of Meid's \"singing,\" electric violin solos, and party band blues progression done in full-tilt boogie mode. In other words, it's the least Amon Düül II sounding cut on the set. \"Traveler,\" another Meid penned cut, may be better known since it was a single, but it pales in comparison. The final reason that this set is distinctive is for the band's cover of Ornette Coleman's \"Lonely Woman,\" done as a tango with some fluttering samba backbeats anchoring the wispy synths and piano work. Knaup sings dramatic original lyrics written by Karrer. It is followed by the dreamy but actually quite beautiful \"Liquid Whisper,\" that contains some very inventive acoustic guitar and synthesizer work. It closes with the album's dumbest but funniest and inventive cut, \"Argy the Robot,\" with a Mothers of Invention-style chorus interlude and horn arrangement. If all of this sounds like an awful combination, it is, but \u003cem\u003eHijack\u003c\/em\u003e is worth hearing at least once for the sake of coming to grips with the fact that this is essentially the same band that recorded classics like Phallus Dei and Yeti.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atco Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50405549015371,"sku":"299802","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black (Endless Happiness Version)","offer_id":52115029852491,"sku":"R1183-9815","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/5060672889995.jpg?v=1749812392"},{"product_id":"gris-gris","title":"Gris Gris","description":"\u003cp\u003eCovered in a variegated spray of New Orleans Mardi Gras feathers and shiny voodoo baubles, \u003cstrong\u003eMac Rebennack's\u003c\/strong\u003e highly personal mythology was finally made real on this 1968 album.

It is also an eyebrow-raising moment in the midst of this particular, which spends more time getting into the same space as mid-'70s Europop, providing an antimatter universe version of an average Eurovision song contest lineup -- think early ABBA in vinyl raincoats, singing ditties about old King Ludwig and the like. Equally perverse, the Blue Angel motif of the cover fits completely with this approach: life as a cabaret, the decadent edges visible through the veneer.
