Information
- This album was the first punk album to be released on the German Democratic Republic controlled label AMIGA.
- The album was recorded in the Amiga studios in Berlin, Brunnenstraße.
- The brass section was played by the Bolschewistische Kurkapelle Schwarz-Rot.
- An earlier version of the album was called Wir wollen immer artig sein.
- During the meet and greet at the end of his reading session in Leipzig on 11 February 2023, Flake confirmed, that the cover of the French version was originally the cover they wanted to use for the second album, Wir kriegen euch alle.
Recording
The story of this album begins in Summer 1987. When Wolf-D. Fruck met the band and introduced them to the German Democratic Republic label AMIGA. Both sides agreed to the terms of a recording contract, and the first recordings were made. But it still took two years to solve every little problem. Flake was not present at the 1987 recordings, because he was in a hospital at the time and only took part via telephone. During the time it was usual to rent the AMIGA recording studio for four hours a day. But Wolf knew that the band wouldn't get anything done in that short timeframe. So he talked to responsible people at AMIGA and got the studio for the whole time the band recorded there. Because the album was not liked much by people at AMIGA and many other problems the album was released in January 1990.
Other songs
Many songs that were recorded during the session did not make it on the album but were released later:
- Graf Zahl (Grün & Blau)
- Dufte (fast version) (Grün & Blau)
- Frosch im Brunnen (Grün & Blau)
- Keine Zeit (Grün & Blau)
- Wieder keine Zeit (Grün & Blau)
- Unter dem Pflaster (Hea Hoa Hoa Hea Hea Hoa 2010 CD)
Misprint
On the 1992 re-release there are some misprints. The song "Kim Wilde" is mistakenly called "Kim Wild". And also the word "Zugabe" (which was for the bonus tracks) was mistakenly written "Zugabee" for the song "Der Klavierspieler".
Also on the 2010 re-release there is a mistake. It shows a running time of 03:28 for the song "Artig", which is only 02:28.
