A work of love, for sure!
Contains one of the most moving tracks ever, to be played when my coffin goes in the oven:
"Hector Zazou – Vera C"

in among all the odd, strange and difficult tracks on here is Vogel - Flaschenzug, which is actually not tucked away but the first track and oh boy what do we have here, i think we have drunks playing the music, singing the song, tip toeing along a tightrope celebrating and eventually finding their way home. fucking glorious

A5 is also from 1978, according to https://www.discogs.com/The-Homosexuals-The-Homosexuals-CD/release/441246. It's the exact same version.

From top to bottom this is a supreme linenup of classic no wave, new wave, post punk and electronic bands from the 70s and early 80s. Just brilliant and a must own for any fan of these genres.
