V/A - Die 2555.Nacht 1990

All songs on this nice Compilation were recorded at the seventh annual festival of the only occupied house in Frankfurt called AU. This open-air party always takes place on the first weekend in July and is already an integral part of the German underground scene. Renowned bands as headliners, local patriots and other well-known combos have already been guests and with sunny weather, "warm" beer and delicious food, this event is always a highlight for many, including me. Unfortunately, it is now the only event that has survived all these years, so it is always a pleasure to meet old friends, buy cool records and above all: much fun until late at night! The last three years there was no party because of the damn Corona, but this year, on 3.June 2023, 40 years of AU will be celebrated and who is invited is not yet been decided, but I'm sure it will be fantastic. So you people out there, come by and experience a nice uncomplicated time and may the record reflect a bit of the feeling that awaits you there! I'll be there, Cheers!

V/A - It's Your Choice [Unreleased Live Material From The Your Choice Live Series] 2x10'' 1991

Weil heute so ein scheiß' Wetter ist bekommt ihr einen Nachschlag, two 10 inches, all songs live and I'm sure you've all heard or downloaded a record of the Your Choice Live Series before, and if not, the uncle won't let you die stupid. The series began in the late 80s, lasted until the mid 90s and the last effort was in 2002 and since then is Schicht. The plates were mainly characterized by the very good recordings and brought rather more unknown bands a platform on which they could show what they can (mostly fast & loud). As you can read, these are songs that didn't make it onto the regular albums, including some covers and other specialties. A total of thirty-five records were published, two of them on the blog. Das war's für heute, now I'm making myself comfortable and touring France, Salut!

PULLERMANN - I've Got My Role To Play EP 1989

This great band were fronted by two singers who shared the vocal duties. Pullermann came from Frankfurt and were founded in the 80s. They play varied HC-/Punk with a touch of slightly psychotic vocals. Songs like 'God Bless All Policemen' or 'I'm Not Here To Learn' shows that they are damn angry, hot and sometimes very ironic. They released two albums, a live one plus a few contributions on a couple of nice compilations (Frankfurt Hit-Collection for example), also a great live band. This EP was recorded & mixed at Hot Con Studio/Essen, in March & April 1989 and 1500 copies were made.

V/A - Life Is Change Vol.2 1991

Late on this Sunday and my last post is another international punk compilation which is for me one of the better publication on BeriBeri Records with the philosophical title "Life Is Change ". And indeed, current to me and that is reason enough to post the album now. The band/song selection is quite excellent and most songs are not published elsewhere (EA80, Spermbirds, Vagrants, Gruschenko...). Lyrically very emotinal which is probably due to the title of this compilation and all eleven bands prove this splendid. Also the artwork is more mature than Vol.1 and the EA80 track is one of my favorite songs. Also awesome both Vagrants songs which kill slowly my heart and I never heard before a band that transfer such emotional intensity with depth. I wish there were more bands like them. Wonderful!! Highly recommend album and you should buy a copy if you have the chance.

V/A - Frankfurt Hit Collection 1989

Limited edition of 1000 Copies of this city compilation which is appeared on Alm-Räcords in 1989, six bands, sixteen songs, offensive lyrics. I remember a concert in the Maxims here in 1991. The Maxims was more a disco shed near the central main trainstation and there was a gig (on Sunday I think) with the Gorilla Biscuits together with Persecuted Pharisees. What was very surprising because at that time there was much other venues as the Maxims. Well at least the show started quite late and the gig was extem fantastic. Since then I have not seen the Biscuits live. Perhaps even you out there remembers this concert. Pullermann, Bück Dich & Die Gichtkröten were regularly present in der Au, Mähtrasher probably existed only briefly. This compilation offers an overview of the bands that were at that time very active and is a decent contribution to the Frankfurt Punk history.
