Legendary Do-It-Yourself punk classic from Germany. This extremely hard to find 4-tracker is part of GERMAN PUNK HISTORY. You are bidding on the original first pressing, released on famous DIY punk label ‘Pure Freude’ records in 1979. It is also the first label release (catalogue number PF 001). The label, run by Carmen Knoebel, also kicked out the first MITTAGSPAUSE double 7“ in 1979. Knoebel was also the owner of well-known punk club Ratinger Hof in Düsseldorf. Only 500 records of the first, best and rarest 7“ which goes by the title ‘Viel Feind, Viel Ehr Und Noch Viel Mehr‘ were made. Here is the true story about the sleeve: In 1977, Hans Martin Schleyer, the leader of a German Trade Union was kidnapped and later killed by the R.A.F. (Red Army Faction) and the cover of this record, was supposed to show one of the terrorists said to have been involved in that crime. For that reason no printer would print the sleeves, so band leader Harry Rag simply xeroxed the pictures out of a magazine and did all the covers himself. 100% Do-It-Yourself ! 120% Punk ! With the band is Uwe Jahnke who later joined FEHLFARBEN and Ralf Dörper aka Vacant who was in KRUPPS (ZickZack Records) and ERASERHEAD (Rondo Records). You can listen to the winners ‘Klammheimlich’ and ‘Europa’ plus to the super-doooper DIY punk smashers ‘Moderne Romantik’ and ‘Industrie Mädchen’. The latter one also appears on the BACK TO FRONT #3 punk sampler and includes perfect lyrics like:

Ich sah sie zuerst bei der Raffinerie
sowas wie sie das sah ich noch nie
Beim Elektrizitätswerk da sah ich sie wieder
Ich riß fast vor Freude die Hochspannung nieder

Ich mag sie

Ich kam in ihr Zimmer beim Güterbahnhof
Drei Stockwerke überm Hinterhof
beim Kernkraftwerk haben wir uns geliebt
neben uns hat der schnelle Brüter gepiept

This 7“ is an essential piece of punk history. Complete with insert.

Zustand / Condition: the vinyl is excellent (very clean). The original oversized stapled sleeve is wrinkled and has some cuts (typical for this release). There are also some stains and a handwritten address on it.
