Hi,

Not on Discogs (yet) :
Artist : Nacht und Nebel
Record : 7inch ep (33 rpm)
Tracklist : Alcatraz/ All Presidents Take Dope/ Arabian Town/ Mister Meanie
Label : Laguna Records (LAG. 003).
Sleeve : original.  Very thin paper, one colour, red, on white. No writing on cover.  Clear tape on the borders. A few plies.  (G)
Labels : clean
Vinyl : looks VG under light, plays VG+.

The story behind ?
This record is one of the earliest recordings (1981) of Nacht und Nebel.  It’s an official record, no bootleg. (Rock Over Belgium, edition 2005, page 246) Frontman Patrick Nebel was not pleased with 3 of the 4 tracks and destroyed all copies when the record was presented on a radioshow.  Only a few survived.  This is one of them.  Musically, it’s in the vein of what they’ve made.  Nothing really special (synth pop), except for one track : Arabian Town : a song based on a repetive bass-line with a calm cold voice on it : excellent minimalistic cold wave.

My only copy from my personal collection.  Questions ? Serious Offers ? Send me a pm.  I’m not looking for trades.  The only reason why I’m selling this record is, I admit, money.  Money that will be spent by paying bills that keep on coming in here since we’ve moved to our new house…

Thanks.
