930.0. "Kowalski" by TRUCKS::CAMPBELL_A () Wed Nov 13 1991 15:43

    3 years ago I found a copy of "Overman Underground" by Kowalski in a
    2nd hand Croydon (England) record shop. I paid 20p for it (price of a
    candy bar!).
    
    Since then, I have rated this LP (on the Virgin label) as one of the most 
    extraordinary and powerful heavy-metal/rock records of all time.
    
    However, apart from being produced by Conny Planck (who is very
    involved with other groups like CAN etc.), i know very little about the
    group and any other records they may have made.
    
    Can anyone please enlighten me?

    Just when you thought you were the only person in the universe who had
    heard of Kowalski, eh?
    I've got that album stuck away in the back of my pile somewhere and I
    agree, it is a massively good album. I got my copy some years ago from
    an old friend, dunno where he got it though...... great stuff

930.2Not really a figment....TRUCKS::CAMPBELL_ATue Jan 14 1992 12:0411
    Hiya Charlie,
    
    I must admit I was starting to think Kowalski was merely a figment of
    my imagination. I would hang on to your copy, as it already has rarity
    value, and if people ever tire of commercially processed fodder, then
    recognition may yet come (in the same way that "Faust" now seem to be
    regarded as somethging of a legend!).
    
    Do you know whether that was their only LP?
    
    Alex.
