NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION‘s favourite retro-Kraut-Rock-supergroup KLAUS JOHANN GROBE (you might remember them from our recent special on great German-singing bands) is currently on tour in the UK, supporting TEMPLES. Since these fine young Swiss men turned out as insane vinyl collectors, who make use of their journey as a big shopping trip, we wanted know which treasures of the black gold they find in all these record stores far away from home. This is part one of their special tour diary about vinyl collections.
