FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is the 1988 German first edition on Energy with catalogue number 572 25 40 2. No later vinyl reissue is known.

What is "No Synthesizer, no fade out" about?
The band recorded every track live in the studio, without synthesizers and without faded song endings. The sleeve stresses this as a contrast to many slickly produced records of the late 80s.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means, for both record and sleeve, light signs of use that hardly affect the overall impression. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more records in this style?
Yes, for example Trans Am – Fasten Seatbelts, also late-80s German hard rock. More titles are in our Hard Rock collection.
