Album Info

Release Date: 1981-05

Labels: Das Büro, Schallmauer

This record is a parody of the bands mentioned in the tracklisting. Actually every song is by Xao Seffcheque, who imitates the style of each band.

The German music press (Sounds, Musik Express) fell for it at the time and reviewed it as an actual compilation. According to Musik Express, Kraftwerk were the first to take legal action, so that a sticker, "Achtung Satire!" (Caution: Satire!) or 'Diese Platte ist eine Parodie' ('This record is a parody'), had to be attached to the sleeve.

A1, B16 are taken from the single Xao Seffcheque - Happy New Wave.
A2, A4, A6, A8, A10 are incorrectly listed on the label as the last track of Side A ("Stalagmit 1-5")
B2, B4, B6, B8, B10, B12, B14 are incorrectly listed on the label as the last track of Side B ("Stalagmit 6-12"), B14 being barely audible.
A5 was later re-recorded by Family 5 with Peter Hein on vocals.
A7 is made out of samples taken from Mittagspause - Punk Macht Dicken Arsch, the overdubbed spoken word bit by Peter Hein is taken from the tapes later released on Herrenreiter.
A9 is an actual contribution by Sternhagel and was later re-recorded for his solo album Sternhagel Kommt..
A11 is listed as "Wrong Colours (O.B.)" on the back sleeve.
B11 is listed as "Sample & Hold (Wer Bitter Im Munde Hat, Kann Nicht Süsspricken)" on the back sleeve.
B15 is not really featured on the record due to its length (0:00).

Back sleeve gives thanks "for participation" to the credited musicians plus Anne Effertz, Bernd Schmidt, Padeluun, Boyd Rice, Peter Glaser, Mike A. Hentz, Wolfgang Schmelter, Brigitte Brehm, Monroe, Schampoo, Susanne & Karin, Das Büro, rara, Albert H. aus HH, "and to you of course for buying this record!"
