Tapetopia 002; Ihre Grosen Erfolge 1983-85
tapetopia is a series of vinyl releases based on cassettes from the East Germanys 80s underground, particularly from the East Berlin ,Mauerstadt" music scene, featuring original lay-outs and track lists. For over 30 years after their initial "release" the music on these tapes was neither available on vinyl nor CD, but they were important statements in the canon of the GDR subculture. Despite the miniscule number of original cassettes in circulation at the time many of the bands were popular in countercultural circles, a factor that made them highly suspect among the governments own inner circles. tapetopia is edited by Henryk Gericke. Other planned releases in the tapetopia series: Klick & Aus (Berlin), The Local Moon (Berlin) and Corp Cruid (Berlin). More to follow
