Post Description

The Royal Servants, forerunners of Eulenspygel, were formed in 1965 in Swabia/Germany. Starting up with beat 
music, they gradually turned to Blues Rock, finally Progressive Psychedelic and released one album named We. 
In early 1971, they were one of the first bands to write their songs in German. So they changed their name into 
Eulenspygel the same year and the first new release was named 2, recorded at the Maschen studio near Hamburg. 
The front cover caused a scandal because of a burnt chicken and was later substituted. This album documents the 
awakening of the german rock music on the way to its own identity.
Musically they played on the same level as foreign bands including long instrumental parts, sometimes psychedelic 
coloured. Lyrics were full of social criticism. The lineup at this time was: Karl-Heinz Grosshans (organ, vocals), 
Cornelius Hauptmann (flute), Ronnie Libal (bass), Günter Klinger (drums), Rainer 'Mulo' Maulbetsch (vocals, 
harmonica), Detlev Nottrodt (guitar, vocals) and finally Matthias aka 'James' aka 'Till' Thurow (guitar, violin). Next 
LP Ausschuss was produced 1972 with the same members in London at the famous Beatles Apple Studios. It 
succeeds in capturing the early-70's progressive mood, sometimes angular sometimes mellow - in the year 
With Staub auf deinem Haar recorded 1973 but released in 2004 for the first time they were demonstrating that 
they could convince their fans on the stage too.
