Marius Müller-Westernhagen – Bittersüß LP Vinyl 1975, Vintage German Rock, Warner Bros.

This LP, "Bittersweet," by Marius Müller-Westernhagen, was released in 1975 by Warner Bros. Records and marks an important phase in the early career of the German rock and singer-songwriter. The album combines critical lyrics with rock arrangements and shows Westernhagen at a time when he was musically emancipating himself from his acting roles and sharpening his identity as a musician.

The album impresses with a mix of socially critical, personal and edgy songs that caused a sensation in the 1970s and laid the foundation for his later cult status.

Historical background

Marius Müller-Westernhagen, born in Düsseldorf in 1948, initially worked as an actor before increasingly turning to music in the 1970s. His album "Bittersüß" (Bittersweet) was one of his first notable musical successes. While Westernhagen later rose to become one of Germany's biggest rock stars in the 80s and 90s with albums like "Westernhagen" and "Halleluja," his early works, such as this one, are a fascinating piece of memorabilia for collectors, as they document the raw, experimental side of his beginnings.
