Faust
The Faust Tapes
Theres something perversely fabulous about the thought of this warped masterwork wandering into 60,000 unsuspecting
British homes in 1973. Fausts second-and-a-half album hit the shops to celebrate their signing to the nascent Virgin
Records, who were looking to take advantage of the zeitgeist for German music at that time. Undeterred by the fact the
bands unwillingness to engage with the commercial landscape had seen them dropped from Polydor, Branson and co cooked up
a suitably spectacular marketing strategy, selling the LP for 49p, the bargain price of a single. Shoppers flocked in
their thousands to grab a copy, raced home and then spent the next forty five minutes checking their tracking, banging
the speakers and blowing the needle, all to no avail. Do not adjust your set - This is Faust.
