Die Ärzte - debil LP - 1984 CBS 26 237
Maybe for nostalgic reasons but maybe because this stuff is really good. But who cares? No matter what I really love this record. When I was young I didn't have the money to buy their records and then for a year or two I didn't mind much. Recently though I decided I have to have their early albums on vinyl. So here we go with their debut full length.
Die Ärzte are the biggest german band that was ever considered punk and to me still is. They never sold out or changed their attitude. Now I'm aware that some people would be well advised to change their attitude but not them. From what I know their heart and soul were always in the right place.
Good thing a friend of mine is thinning his collection and let go of this for cheap. It's an original 1984 pressing. Apparently there were two different ones made that year with different matrix numbers but pretty much identical otherwise. So who knows which one came first. At this point probably no one. I didn't even care about what pressing it is which is why I'm definitely perfectly happy with this copy.
I never listened to Die Ärzte
AntwortenLöschen... but I think in some way I have to adjust my attitude towards them, because you could be correct that they never sold out - they just were big. At least if compared with the Toten Hosen who were simply the bottom of the bottom after ZK. Things sometimes change in retrospective! (But that doesn´t mean I will start listening to Die Ärzte :-)
haha. yeah, i guess at this point i wouldn't start listening to them too. how old are you?
LöschenYeah, too old to listen to Die Ärzte ... child of the seventies ...
AntwortenLöschenhaha. ok. I always think that I'm old and only think of people younger than me not being into the good old stuff. It didn't occur to me for a second that there are also people older than me who might just not be into them for whatever reason. Everyone I know who's about my age liked them back in the days.
