Walter Wegmüller was born in Bern, the son of Romani travellers. He grew up in homes and farms with foster parents, later travelling round Europe and India, making paintings and jewellery.
He settled in Basel in 1957 and became an expert on the Tarot.
Working as a visual artist, Wegmüller designed a set of 22 tarot cards. His friend Timothy Leary introduced him to Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser of Ohr Records in Germany, and it was agreed that Wegmüller would record an album on the theme of tarot, with musicians Klaus Schulze, two members of Ash Ra Tempel Manuel Göttsching and Hartmut Enke and other musicians. Collectively they were known as The COSMIC JOKERS.

The ‘Tarot’ album was recorded in 1972 and released in 1973, with an elaborate package that included a set of Wegmüller's cards. Wegmüller recites stories about each of the tarot cards on the album, which also contains lengthy instrumental passages from the musicians.

Thisbig Boxed Set is Limited to 2950 sets worldwide and the discs inside come pressed on 180gm Black Vinyl, with Poly-Lined Inner Sleeves. Based on the original vinyl packaging from 1973, which is particularly sought after by collectors, the box also contains Various Cards by the artists as well as Explanatory Texts on the ‘Tarot’ reference and Reprints of the Tarot Cards by Walter Wegmüller.
