12" Maxi-Singles with German music

The rare 12" Maxis with German songs

With the beginning of the "Neue Deutsche Welle" era in Germany at the beginning of the 1980s, the "German-language" Maxi-Single also took off. The normal radio hits of the time sometimes became special versions up to eight minutes long. These songs, known as "Lange Version" were often provided with altered text passages, which gave some of them cult status. Despite all (technical) efforts, the "German Maxis" only had a manageable sales success. Accordingly, they are rare and sought after today.
