Mein Teil is the first single off the album Reise, Reise by Rammstein. It was released on 26 July 2004.
Information
- The single was originally planned for a release on 14 June 2004. First, it was delayed to 28 June 2004 before it was ultimately pushed to 26 July 2004, because of "controversial discussions between the band and record company".[1]
- When the label was asked about this, they replied that the reason for the delay were production mistakes with the cover of the single. An employee was quoted saying: "The date has been postponed for technical reasons, as an error occurred during the production of the single covers."[2]
- The jewelcase of the single has a small misprint on it: one version shows the catalogue number on the spine, the other version doesn't. It is unknown which one of these is the correct one.
- The single came with an enhanced CD part, which was a small program to download Mein Teil-themed wallpapers and watch the video. The program was called Rammstein Monitor. It has been updated up to the release of Amerika but it is not supported nor working anymore. But the archived website for it can be visited here.
Promotion
There are two different German promotional CDs for the single: One comes in a jewelcase, and the other one, titled "Hands On Mein Teil" is a cardsleeve, with the entire artwork of the later release. Both CDs include the same tracklist as the 12" vinyl does. In Mexico a different cardsleeve promo was given out, also titled "Hands On Mein Teil". It includes the same tracks as the standard retail single does, even including the Rammstein Monitor. Additionally, the single was promoted with a DVD release in Canada, just like Sonne was before. The DVD includes only the video of the song. In the UK the promotional single was the standard 2-track cardsleeve single, but coming with a promotional text sheet. That text sheet included the following short biograpy:
