For fans of Amon Duul II, Guru Guru, Man - the bands albums "Getting Up For The Morning" and "Sweat And Swim" are now available for the first time in one packaging - Krokodil influenced numerous subsequent Swiss rock bands with its unique, progressive, and psychedelic-tinged musical style incl a cover version of Bob Dylan's "Talking World War III Blues"incl a cover version of Kris Kristofferson's "Billy Dee".

Founded in 1969 by Dude Durst, Hardy Hepp, Walty Anselmo, Terry Stevens, and Mojo Weideli, Swiss rock band Krokodil was not only one of the first of its kind, but also influenced numerous subsequent Swiss rock bands with its unique, progressive, and psychedelic-tinged musical style. "We didn't want to emulate our Anglo-American idols, but play our own music right from the start," recalls drummer Dude Durst. "Everything was possible for us, there were no limits."

After three albums for the international record company Liberty/United Artists, Krokodil changed labels in 1972. On "Getting Up For The Morning," they worked with producer Peter Hauke (Nektar and Omega, among others) for the first time. The LP was recorded in Dieter Dierks' studio in Stommeln, Germany. Like its successor "Sweat And Swim," the album was released on the Bacillus label of Frankfurt's Bellaphon. Then it was over. After six intense years, the band split up. Dude Durst said: "I think we were in top form at that time - musically and compositionally. And we had turned more towards rhythm & blues again."
