Night Sun - Mournin'. 1972 Germany


---7/12/15

The album that answers the all important question: What would have Deep Purple sounded like if they were on the Brain label? About as good as it gets for the early 70s hard rock style!

---4/24/20

To be honest, not much else to be said really. Conny Plank does his thing in the studio, and definitely adds the Krautrock touch. But otherwise this is a blistering set of tunes, much heavier and kinetic than almost any band from this era. And that's some serious competition it's blowing away. Essential for the hard rock genre.


Ownership: LP: 1976 Polydor. Single sleeve. Recent acquisition from JL (2023). I originally bought this LP (same version) at Bananas in St. Petersburg, Florida while there on business in 1996. I sold it off after getting the CD, but this album is too good not to have an original of (close enough).

CD: 1997 Second Battle. Digipak with no info and a 1997 Second Battle catalog. Keeping this as the music is first division.


10/16/96; 7/12/15; 4/24/20 (new entry); 3/29/23 (LP acquire)
