1994 6-Track Demo Tape (2)

Price Paid: £500

---

This is Rammstein's most well-known demo tape - This tape was made by Emanuel Fialik, the band's former manager. It was given club owners and record labels in 1994 to promote Rammstein. The tape includes an unheard, live-recording version of Schwarzes Glas (recorded similarly to Feuerraeder). This version cuts off at the end, just like Feuerraeder, but is a more complete version overall, even with a guitar solo.

The image of the band logo and the six members is actually a sticker, placed over the inkjet-printed inlay. The song "Matrose" (Seemann) is missing from this tape completely, and the tracklist is the same on both Side A and Side B, weirdly.

Orgasm Death Gimmick (1992 Demo Tape)

Price Paid: £200

---

This is an extremely rare copy of Orgasm Death Gimmick's self-made second demo tape from 1992. It was given to a DT64 radio host for promotional purposes; the host will remain anonymous for privacy reasons.

Das Elegante Chaos - Lyrik (6-Track Version)

Price Paid: Free

---

This is a copy of Das Elegante Chaos' first and only album 'Lyrik' (originally 'Das Chaos hat gesiegt'). Das Elegante Chaos was Richard's first ever band; they recorded the songs that would later comprise 'Lyrik' in 1989 in an air raid shelter. This exact copy of 'Lyrik' was self-produced and given to me by Gert Reichelt - the then-vocalist of the band, as well as the current vocalist of 'Das Auge Gottes'.

There are two versions; this copy has two tracks less than the other.

First Arsch - Saddle Up

Price Paid: {DON'T REMEMBER}

---

This is one copy (of only a few hundred ever made) of First Arsch's first and only album, 'Saddle Up'. First Arsch was Till's first band. Paul and Richard also played on this album. The vinyl is very rare; released in 1992, and has never been reissued in any form. The only other version in existence is a 'promotional' copy in a white sleeve. Only the man who commissioned the original LPs owns these.

Price Paid: £50.00

Here are 20 promotional 35mm DIA slides from the 'Mutter' era; they are, being original DIA slides, much higher quality than the versions of the pictures available online. These particular slides were presumably given to journalists or members of the press; they are *extremely* rare.
