I bought this from Alasdair Roberts (one-time leader of Appendix Out) in person at Cecil Sharp house, where he played a surprisingly sparsely attended gig just over a year ago. I've got to the point now where I want everything that Roberts has ever recorded. Thankfully there isn't too much of it, so that's not a ridiculous target. Oh, hang on, Google has just found this discography, and I've revised my target to half of what he's recorded.
Why Lieder für Kaspar Hauser? What's the connection with either Hauser himself or the Werner Herzog film about him? I have no idea. Notwithstanding the German titles of each side, one of the tracks is a song sung in English and the other is an instrumental. It doesn't help that about one in three of the words in the lyrics is indecipherable.
It's on coloured vinyl.
