Herbert Grönemeyer – Ö LP (EMI Electrola, Germany 1988)

This original LP "Ö" by Herbert Grönemeyer was released in 1988 by EMI Electrola and marks a significant turning point in his career. Following the massive success of 4630 Bochum, Grönemeyer reveals a more mature, reflective side here – musically situated between pop, rock, and poetic song.
With songs like Was soll das , Vollmond or Halt mich, Grönemeyer presents himself at the height of his creative powers – socially critical, emotional and unmistakable in his language and voice.

Historical background:
Following his breakthrough in 1984, Grönemeyer successfully further developed his style with "Ö" . The album was a huge commercial success and had a lasting impact on German pop music of the late 80s. Produced in Cologne and London, it featured a modern, dense sound that definitively established Grönemeyer as one of the most important German musicians.
The turquoise cover with the minimalist "Ö" design became the visual symbol of this era.
