Hart auf Hart – Hart auf Hart Vintage LP (AMIGA, 1979)

This vintage LP, "Hart auf Hart," was released in 1979 on the long-established East German label AMIGA and combines cabaret-style songs and humorous lyrics with a socially critical undertone. With biting wit, irony, and a keen sense for everyday life in East Germany, the artists deliver an authentic historical document that captures the atmosphere of the late 1970s.

The record is typical of AMIGA's cultural productions of that era, in which music, satire and political allusions often merged – a mixture of entertainment program and subtle social criticism that today has a high nostalgic and collector's value.

Historical background:
Cabaret and chansons held a special place in East Germany: they offered a space for subtle criticism, hidden messages, and cultural creativity within the system. "Hart auf Hart" (Hard on Hard) is a prime example of this style and was part of the cultural legacy of AMIGA , the country's leading record label.
