Why is this not considered a misprint since the track listing on both the cover and labels does not match what is actually pressed on the record ?

This release is a mess track-wise. Does not contain the original album as Side B is a compilation from "Brüder Des Schattens - Söhne Des Lichts" & "Tantric Songs".

Wonderful pressing... quiet vinyl, good dynamic range... very pleasant analogue sound especially on the acoustic guitars. Very little audible distortion. Also, a very pretty laminated jacket! Also the music is (of course) excellent

For the piece Aguirre, on this album, Florian Fricke used a mellotron-like instrument called the choir-organ. This basically consisted of keyboards which operated tuned tape loops running in parallel with one another. The loops could be sustained indefinately. He used tapes of human voices on the tape loops, giving the otherworldly human/ electronic effect heard in this track.
