2CD digipak with 96 page booklet. Limited German Import>>>> PLEASE, NOTE: liner notes in German!
With lavishly remastered recordings 'Heavy Kraut!' traces the rocky path of German bands from the pop and beat era of the '60s to hard rock - just as bands from the USA and UK made it popular here.
The two-part CD documentary from Bear Family Records on a total of 4 CDs, each with an 96-page illustrated booklet, describes in depth the beginnings of hard rock in Germany, the attempts of bands, musicians, producers and record companies to go their own way, which finally put rock music from Germany on the world map of the genre with the Scorpions or Rammstein.
On part 1 you will find Asterix, Lucifer's Friend, New Lords, Message, Silberbart, Toad, Birth Control, Eloy, Megaton, Weed, Scorpions, Night Sun, Blackwater Park and Janus.
Concept and liner notes by Frank Schafer, born 1966, Dr. phil., for 20 years the metal expert for various daily newspapers and Rolling Stone.
