Out of curiosity - I will give up in a minute or two. Thirty minutes is around as much as I can stand.

I guess it wasn't the band's idea of artistic direction because the album is absolutely SUPERB !!!!Originally Posted by Mikeandvan

Not sure why you made this post, but if it truly was out of a sense of curiosity, then you are to applauded. Even if you don't like it, then you at least have tried, and now know to avoid anything by Stockhausen in the future.
I was first introduced to the works of Stockhausen whilst at University - the Faculty of Music performed some of his sythesiser work live, and I was intrigued. I still have a couple of LPs of his work, including 'Stimmung':
Karlheinz Stockhausen - Collegium Vocale Köln , Leitung: Wolfgang Fromme – 'Stimmung'
Label: Deutsche Grammophon – 2543 003
Series: Avantgarde (2)
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
Country: Germany
Released: 1970
Genre: Electronic, Classical
Style: Contemporary

It is a cracking album, got the vinyl and the CD of that one.
There's two different covers I think?

I also have the original vinyl and I bought the Ltd Edtn Rock Candy remastered CD but, I've never seen a different cover for either of the first two Montrose albums (Montrose and Paper Money) so, if you have a pic of it, I'd be interested to see it !!

I was talking about the first album.I also have the original vinyl and I bought the Ltd Edtn Rock Candy remastered CD but, I've never seen a different cover for either of the first two Montrose albums (Montrose and Paper Money) so, if you have a pic of it, I'd be interested to see it !!
My CD copy has the first cover, my vinyl has the second. Although a friend has vinyl with the first image as the cover - Which I think he got when it first came out.
So no idea which was the original.
Edit - the answer is
In 1974, the album was issued in Europe via Germany under the title Rock the Nation. This release duplicated the track listing of the U.S. album, but had a different front sleeve image, replacing the band's photo with that of a large-busted blonde girl sporting a pink see-through blouse.

IMO both covers are pretty uninspiring.
The important thing is whether you like the music contained therein. Must admit I hadn't heard of Montrose (the group obviously!).
