      With the tracklist (Psychonaut/Go To California/Whole Lotta Diana/Come On In/Sheer Heart Attack), it's hardly likely that it sucks

      yeah I know, and it sucks that it probably doesn´t suck

        I think it's strange that Motorpsycho have this policy. they make of course a lot of fans very happy with owning a special vinyl edt., but at the same time they hold back their live recordings for a lot of fans. It's strange that they don't sell this digital or something. In this way they could make some (moore) money on it and the people with the vinyl still will own something special ( or be able to sell it to a market price).

          Again – this is not Motorpsycho's policy, as Strings of Stroop was released by the venue, Effenaar. Motorpsycho had little or nothing to do with the release.

            do you really think they can release music without asking the artist(s)?

              Like the Rolling Stones used to sing:

              You can't always get what you want

              You can't always get what you want

              You can't always get what you want

              But if you try sometimes well you might find

              You get what you need

              …or you have to pay a high price on ebay!

                Or Jimmy Cliff!

                You can get it if you really want

                You can get it if you really want

                You can get it if you really want

                But you must try, try and try

                Try and try, you'll succeed at last…on ebay

                But back to the music.

                I've got it and the record is okay. For side one (and thus the older recordings) the sound is a bit naff – as can be expected. "Psychonaut" is as noisy as it should be. "Go to California" is just "Go to California"; the version is not especially remarkable – at least not to my ears. Side two opener "Diana" is a ball of energy – Kenneth firing on both pistons. For me, the highlight is "Come on in"; just a very good, heartfelt version of this seldomly played song. And "Sheer Heart Attack" is – as said above – a very funny (and yes, it contains the Bent "Snah in a cape and me with big buck teeth" intro) and tight-but-loose version.

                All in all, as an artifact it's more interesting than as a record. But no, I'm still not parting with mine.

                Grtz, T

                  nearly the same for me. but i think the version of "whole lotta diana" is outstanding great. comes somehow close to the version played in hannover. long silent part and very nice buildup to the end.

                  side 1 is ok, i would describe it with the same words as TvdR. All in all a nice gift of MP to Effenaar and their audience.

                    Off topic, but someone's trying to get rich: Motorpsycho for sale.

                    Oh, and I assume this is just a typo or something…

                    The promotional cds for sale at this auction is just some cd-r that where printed prior to the releases. The ILAC "promo" exist in at least two different prints.
