Amon Düül from Munich is the original commune group founded in 1967, from which Amon Düül II later emerged. After the first two releases, Psychedelic Underground and Collapsing Singvögel Rückwärts & Co. from 1969, both material from earlier „Psychedelic Underground“ sessions, Metronome terminated the record contract. At the end of 1970, they recorded their third album with the support of guest musicians from Amon Düül II, John Weinzierl (g), Chris Thiele (bgo) and Hansi Fischer (fl), produced by Julius Schittenhelm. It was released in 1971 on Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser's legendary Ohr label (cover design by Gil Funccius) and was also their last LP, as they broke up afterwards.

More interested in expressing artistic freedom and left-wing political convictions than in professional musical performance, the group presented a relaxed, psychedelic folk trip with lots of guitar, flute, hand percussion and also vocals and piano. Although this album was also based on experimental, improvised ideas, the jams followed certain predetermined patterns and themes, which made the music appear more structured and homogeneous. Their only LP for Ohr was a hippie folk psychedelia that many consider to be the best of all four Amon Düül albums and has achieved a certain cult status over the years.
