Peter Maffay – Tausend Träume weit Vintage LP (Amiga, GDR pressing)

This vintage LP by Peter Maffay was released as a licensed edition on the East German label Amiga and contains selected tracks from his successful West German career of the 1980s. The record presents Maffay in his characteristic blend of rock, pop, and emotional ballads – authentic, honest, and sonically typical of Amiga pressings of that era.

🎸 Historical Background

Peter Maffay is one of the most influential German rock musicians since the 1970s. With his raspy voice and stylistic range spanning rock, folk, and pop, he built an unparalleled career. The release of "Tausend Träume weit" on Amiga was a culturally significant step, as West German music was only officially licensed in East Germany in exceptional cases – a symbol of musical openness at the end of the 1980s.
