Yeti is a
double LP by
psychedelic rock band
Amon Düül II which was first released in 1970 on
Liberty (Germany: LBS 83359/60 X; United Kingdom: LSP 101). The album was produced by Olaf Kübler and
Amon Düül II, and engineered by Willy Schmidt, "with a little help of Siegfried E. Loch". Including both short songs and longer, improvisational tracks, British
avant-garde music magazine
The Wire describes
Yeti as "one of the cornerstones of both Amon Düül's career and the entire
Krautrock movement."

Cover art
The cover was designed by the band's organist, Falk Rogner, and features a
collage depicting the
Grim Reaper (German:
Der Sensenmann), made from a photograph of Wolfgang Krischke. Krischke, who had worked with the band as a
sound man, had died of
hypothermia while under the effects of
LSD. Rogner said: "When he died I thought that the photo would be a perfect tribute to his memory. He never managed to find his way into Amon Düül properly when he was alive, so maybe his image as Der Sensenmann will work as a strange cover image and he could be remembered as a magical person."Gross, Jason (August 2008) ""
