are you going to buy them? Both of those albums are great, luckily I have them and don't have to compete.

oh yes of course German Oak is a bootleg. It was recorded in 1972 but was never released until a cd came out in the mid 90's. Someone made a bootleg of it right around 2001. I bought it new from a mailorder dealer for $25 in 2001.
There is another German Oak album which isn't as good that is cd only so far (I don't have it but I heard it in 1999)

Are you absolutely sure this is the story behind that record? Because I was convinced it was actually released in 1972.

Not confirmed, but I have a source that says it was recorded 1972, released on LP in the early 80s and then on CD early 90s.

This vinyl version of German Oak on Bunker listed on ebay came out around 2000-2001. I bought it in 2001. Of course it is possible (but unlikely) that there is an older 80's or 90's vinyl version, but if so it was in a microscopic vinyl version not distributed or sold. I've known some hardcore psych collectors over the 15+ years and they didn't have this record.

Found one more source. "Cosmic dreams at play" (Asbjørnsen) published by Borderline productions states:
Apparently this limited edition album wasn't released until the early eighties, though it's still hard to find and expensive"
The book was published in 1996 and is known to have a few errors, but is still relatively reliable. It is listed as "Bunker 1-72".

German Oak sold for $767. wild.

my copy is also BU 1-72 as listed in this auction. But I just has a look at the info cut into the dead wax and it says: 20-10-99, so obviously it was pressed October 20 1999. I would bet money on it that this $767 item has the same etching in the dead wax....

i guess this is not a widespread info otherwise this price would drop heavily i'm sure. regardless if it's a rare boot. there is another (official?) vinyl reissue for around 15-25€ from the later 2000s!

According to Martin Popoffs' book "The collector's guide to Heavy Metal: The Seventies" The German Oak album was originally printed in 1972 by the Witch & Warlock lable, printed up in an edition of 213 copies, no covers, 202 of which languished in "Warlocks'" basement for years, none, according to Warlock, ever actually getting sold.
