Stuart features The Faust Tapes, a fine example of 1970s German krautrock. The album was sold for just 49p by the newly formed Virgin Records and enabled Faust to 'break' Britain.

King of Freaks, Stuart Maconie features The Faust Tapes in this week's show.

A fine example of 1970s German krautrock, it skips seamlessly from art-rock to folk and spoken word in a Zappa-esque collage.

The album was sold for just 49p by the newly formed Virgin Records and enabled Faust to "break" Britain.
