Mittagspause – Punk Macht Dicken Arsch [LP] (1982, Rondo)

 

Mittagspause was an early German (post-)punk band with Janie Jones aka Peter Hein on the vocals. Later he became the frontman of the early Fehlfarben. Some tracks of Mittagspause appeared later in other versions on records by Fehlfarben ("Militürk", "Herrenreiter", "Ernstfall"). This album is a live recording from a 1979 concert in Wuppertal. Recording quality is solid, a little thin maybe, same for the music. It all rather sounds like rehearsal recordings. Besides the title of this album (which means "Punks Makes a Fat Ass"), the interesting thing here are the many cover versions of early German new wave/punk classics, like S.Y.P.H.'s "Zurück Zum Beton" and "Industriemädchen" or Male's "Zensur Zensur" and "Testbild". There also is a cover of Sham 69's "If the Kids Are United" and of a German 1960s classic, "Marmor, Stein und Eisen Bricht". [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
