German label founded by Reinhard Streit way back in 1961.
Label Code: LC 23971
The label started with the concept to release one single a month, 12 singles per year at maximum.
In the 60s and early 70s it was distributed by Metronome (now Universal Music Group) while RCA (now Sony Music) distributed the label in the mid 70s. The label history includes three No.1 Hits which are "Das kommt vom rudern, das kommt vom segeln" by PETER LAUCH & DIE REGENPFEIFER, "Don't Ha Ha" by CASEY JONES & THE GOVERNORS and "How Do You Do" by the WINDOWS. Since 2004 Golden 12 is back on the scene again, after Reinhard Streit agreed with Ulrich Eichblatt to take care about the label and its music life's work. First releases on the reborn Golden 12 were the WINDOWS with their debut album of the same name, but this time also including their No.1 Hit "How Do You Do". The first "new" release was also by the WINDOWS titled "How Do You Do". It included the all German songs filled-up with some solo recordings of PETER PETREL. Two new albums of the WINDOWS have been recorded (one in English and one German language) but have not been released so far..... Meanwhile most of the Golden 12 repertoire is available again.....
