Autobahn’s album “Nagelbett” is very rare.

From http://www.fakebands.com:

“Autobahn - From the Coen brothers movie, The Big Lebowski. The three German nihilists (played by Peter Stormare, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, & Torsten Voges) were said to have been in this techno-pop band, an obvious Kraftwerk rip-off. They had one album in the late 70’s, called nagelbett, which is German for “bed of nails.”“

I bought that and Spinal Tap’s ‘Introvenus DiMilo’ at the same time.  They weren’t cheap, but they were both well worth it!

If you’re talking about the 5 song EP, white with the circled “I” in black, there were 500 of these pressed up.  I used to see one used about once a year here in Minneapolis, but I haven’t seen one lately.  I was buying every copy I could find and at one point I had 5 but traded off 4 of them.  I also have a list of about 7 people who want the next one I find.  Their next 12”, Creatures Of Influence, is much harder to come by.  I’ve only ever seen 2 copies (which I bought) and I sold one about 3 years ago.  Ebay got me about $40-$60 for it, I can’t quite remember the exact ammount.

Ollie, thanks for the info,
They say 100 on their website, that’s where I got it from. However, I admit 500 does seem more likely what with the number of copies I’ve seen myself.

And New Occupants; great! I like when you can find good music for under $20.

Zero Zero’ s - Herzklopfen Lp is also veery expensive, last time I checked it out on Gemm it was around 800-1200 $!
Although I bought my copy for less than 15$..

GEMM is a bad measure for actual worth.
I could put jacno on there for $ 1000
eBay gives a much better reflection of actual worth.

welcome on the forum btw :!:

nah, you can still find it between 15 and 25$, I think there are not many german records beyond 200$ (Aloa, Szigethi, X-Quadrat… anything I forgot ?)

Thanks Spartak!:wink:
Ok this one ‘s both rare and expensive; one of my favorites and at the top of my wantlist (I have it on cd-r unfortunately),
Hwris Perideraio.  One of the best greek minimal-synth, they released a 7” and one Lp, both on a limited number of copies, about 300 as far as I know.

Hmm. Maybe I should try to sell my copie of Zero Zero’s LP as well. I’ve seen several of them this year, so they can’t be that rare, but who knows, maybe I can get some cash for it. There are allways people willing to pay such a ridiculous price for it, apparently… :D

I don’t speak Greek but I presume that “Hwris Perideraio” are “Human Puppets” ?  :oops: They released a very good LP “The Future From The Past” on Kernkrach.

Nope!
Totally different!

RARE LP

Hello!

Check out the RARE and VERY GOOD PLUGPOINT MUSIC LP called LAST CHANCE, this is a VERY rare! Good Luck!

Nope!
Totally different!

Right, “Human Puppets” are a resent band(yes very good Lp and one even better EP),
“Hwris Perideraio” are from the 80’s and their name means “Without Neclace” a bit strange but cool on the other hand..

Some info on Horis Perideraio:

A recent photo of the guy from Human Puppets in action:

Oppenheimer Analysis 12” is becoming a highly valuable collectors item…
It is already sold on ebay for like 2,5 times the price you can buy it here…

everybody should get spare copies as long as they are available !
:o
