German saxophonist, jazzmusician and composer with his band Passport which were known for their jazz fusion music
This record was produced for the purposes of Lufthansa Airlines marketing
This is the standard (jukebox centre) record, there was also a flexidisc released
Both tracks are instrumentals - no vocals at all
Side 1 "Skies" is the song contracted by Lufthansa, a very 70's funky disco(ish) rock sound!
Side 2 "Mandragora" is from Klaus Doldinger's "roots", jazz jazz jazz and is lifted from his album, Passport.

Cat# ATL 105
1973
German release
Cover is in good condition, lower edge damage which has been stabilised with clear tape (removeable if desired) No tears, no writing and clean
NOTE: Strangely enough, this a jukebox pressing (large centre hole). Strange because I couldn't imagine anyone putting this into a jukebox playlist! So if you wished to play this record you need a "45 adapter" - most turntables should have one lying around but if you need one I can most likely find an adaptor push ring for the centre of the record.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light marks/scratches on both sides.
I then played both sides, no issues with surface noise or click/pops
New outer protective sleeve
Tracks: Skies, Mandragora
