Pink Floyd: Ummagumma German 1st Issue Cassette Tape Blue Shell Harvest

Ummagumma was Pink Floyd's fourth album, first released in 1969 as a double LP on Harvest. Half of it is live, recorded at Mothers Club in Birmingham and Manchester College of Commerce. The other half is studio work, with each of the four members given his own stretch of the record to fill.

This is the West German cassette on EMI Electrola / Harvest, a "Doppelkassette" that fits the whole double album onto one double play tape. It is the first German issue: blue shell with orange labels, EMI Electrola logo at the bottom centre of the inlay and no Dolby logo. Later German issues carry a Dolby logo. The running order is different from the LP, with the studio and live tracks mixed across the two sides.
