Carol Of Harvest is one of those German bands which released a single album and faded into obscurity. Axel Schmierer (comp., g) and his school buddies Heinz Reinschlüssel (b) and Robert Högn (dr) founded their studio project in Fürth (Bavaria) in 1976. The line-up was completed with Jürgen Kolb (keyb) and only 16-year-old female singer Beate Krause, who provided the perfect feminine vocal touch to the masterful Psych Folk album with progressive overtones. The unusual name came from a poem by Walt Whitman.
Their sole LP was released in the summer of 1978 in an edition of only 200 copies on the sought-after Brutkasten label. Its owner Peter Klimek considers it the best record on his label. This original LP is now one of the most worldwide sought-after collector's items in the field of Krautrock.
