Historical background

The Klaus Renft Combo was one of the most important rock bands in East Germany. With their critical lyrics and distinctive rock sound, the group quickly became popular – but also a target of state censorship. In 1975, the band was banned from performing, and their records largely disappeared from official stores. Today, the original Amiga pressings are highly sought-after collector's items and represent a piece of East German music history.
