Julian Cope's celebrated, idiosyncratic, and inspirational study of German rock's 1960s/'70s zenith, Krautrocksampler, has been out of print for years and therefore now regularly sells for three figures on eBay and Amazon. However, penurious krautrock aficionados can read the damn thing on the 'net—in inglorious PD fuggin' F, suckas—thanks to Evan over at the Swan Fungus blog. Peep it here. (Warning: Portions of some pages are blurry. Schiesse!)

Covering his ass, Evan writes:

NOTE: IF YOU ARE JULIAN COPE (OR REPRESENT JULIAN COPE, OR PUBLISHED THIS BOOK) AND YOU WOULD LIKE THIS INFORMATION REMOVED, PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY, AND I WILL SWIFTLY AND GLADLY COMPLY (and, consequently, deprive literally TENS of fanboys from learning more about the bands they love).

Hurry! Read it before Sir Julian has Swan Fungus take down these precious pages.
