Walter Wegmüller – Tarot (2xLP), Deluxe Boxset)

Remastered by Dieter Dierks and Dennis Flüchter at Dierks Studios. Walter Wegmüller (1937 - 2020) was a Swiss-Japanese artist who grew up under difficult circumstances in Bern.

After training in Basel, Bern, Paris and London, he began his artistic career. In addition to painting and sculpture, Walter Wegmüller worked across the entire spectrum of art.

He gained widespread international recognition, particularly from 1974 with the publication of his "Gypsy Tarot".

He was successful at countless exhibitions in Europe and overseas and was repeatedly presented with prizes and awards.

However, he never forgot his origins as a Verdingkind and "Rom child from the Kalderasch tribe".

In 1973, he released the album Tarot with an all-star band. The band included successful musicians such as Klaus Schulze, Manuel Göttsching, Harald Grosskopf, Dieter Dierks, Hartmut Enke, Jürgen Dollase and Walter Westrupp. It remained Walter Wegmüller's only foray into the world of music.

The album was last released on vinyl in 1976. It was released on CD in 2000 and has now been remastered for the first time.

A deLuxe box is particularly coveted by collectors, which, in addition to 2 vinyl discs, contains various cards by the artists as well as explanatory texts on the TAROT reference and reprints of Walter Wegmüller's Tarot cards.

This box, of which only 1,000 copies were produced, now fetches prices of up to 800 euros and more.

And even the CD edition from 2000 is hard to come by for less than 80 euros. The original analog master tapes were transferred at a higher resolution and remastered with great care.

DeLuxe Box. 2x 180g vinyl in black lined inner sleeves. With cards of the artists involved, explanatory text and the tarot cards, which are musically treated in the album.
