A ongoing updated list of the new additions to my collection that I'm particularly pleased to finally have on my shelf (along with all the others).
The Promise
When In Rome
Yeah, getting my hands on the album *When In Rome* wasn’t easy, but this one… phew - that was a real challenge. The 12inch reissue of their smash hit "The Promise", limited to 500 copies worldwide, is my holy grail for this month.

When In Rome
When In Rome
This New Wave band from the UK was only around for a very short time and released just a single album in the late 80s. The trio had great success in the US with their single ‘The Promise’. I’ve always wanted to get my hands on this self-titled album, and it’s also very popular for collectors. I’ve finally got my very own copy. :)

The Order Of Death (The Blair Witch Mix)
Public Image Limited
The defining line of this generally instrumental song is “This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get.” And this track, called “The Order Of Death,” can only be found on the Public Image Ltd. album of the same name. That's why I've been looking for this promo for a long time, because only here can you also find “The Blair Witch Mix” from the successful movie.

Turrican 30ᵗʰ Anniversary Sound Collection
Chris Hülsbeck
The Turrican series is one of the most important games from the 90s, and if you grew up with the Amiga like I did, this game series has a special place in your heart. This strictly limited vinyl box set contains soundtracks from several parts and was produced to a very high standard. The box set was released to mark the 30th anniversary and is an absolute highlight in my collection. The music by Chris Huelsbeck is simply timeless.

Pull Up To The Bumper (A Musclemix) (A Megamix Cut-up)
Grace Jones
Over the years, I have collected several records by the incredible Grace Jones. However, I was missing the somewhat rare “Muscle Mix” of “Pull Up To The Bumper” - until today. :)

Dry Bones
The Delta Rhythm Boys
It's one of the coolest tracks from the soundtrack “RAIN MAN.” “Dry Bones” - the first release from the vocal band The Delta Rhythm Boys was released on shellac back in 1947! The band existed until 1987 and gained some renewed attention thanks to the film's soundtrack, even though it was unfortunately too late for some band members. To be honest, the record wasn't that easy to get, but now it's finally part of my collection.

Drive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Special Anniversary Edition)
Cliff Martinez
I've had the soundtrack to “Drive” on CD for many years. For me, it's one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. But I've always wanted to have this masterpiece on vinyl. Since used releases are very expensive, I was very happy that the soundtrack has now been re-released as a picture disc double album with a gatefold cover to mark the 10th anniversary of the film.

Do It In The Mix
WestBam
The first release from Maximilian Lenz under his artist name WestBam. This was the starting point of a very successful career of one of the most influential DJs of all time from Germany that has continued for almost 40(!) years. Very happy to have this record now in my collection. :)

Electric Avenue
Eddy Grant
A real treasure for me that contains one absolute classic per page in an extended version. This record is rarely found in really good condition for an acceptable price. Now this one is part of my collection too. :)

Smooth Criminal
Michael Jackson
I don't know how long I've been looking for one that's in very good condition but also affordable. Now the time has come and a gap has finally been filled in my small but fine collection of Micheal Jackson 12" records.

Singles 90/98
Massive Attack
I've had this fantastic collection of all of Massive Attack's singles & remixes from the early days on my shelf for a while now. Probably the best compilation of remixes and B-sides. This limited edition box has finally found its way into my catalog.

Fantasy Girl
Johnny O
Until now I only owned the maxi CD, but now one of my favorite freestyle anthems has finally made it into my collection on vinyl.

Goodbye Horses
Q. Lazzarus
Thanks to the vinyl boom of recent years, rare records are re-released from time to time - the demand is there, because the record is no longer available - almost. After 35 (! - unbelievable somehow) years, my search has finally come to an end. I was very lucky and today I actually have a copy of the re-release of ‘Goodbye Horses’ in my hands - even with a great booklet with the background story to the song and further information.

Raw Like Sushi
Neneh Cherry
Meanwhile this fantastic record is 35 years "old", but finally I have this special "30th Anniversary 3LP Deluxe Edition" in my collection. It comes with a lot of remixes and special versions and a fantastic artbook.

Star Trek: Discovery - Original Series Soundtrack - Season 1 - Chapter 1 & 2
Jeff Russo
For me as a Trekkie, the series “Star Trek: Discovery” was really great fun. The soundtrack is as colorful as the series itself. The music for the series is served on two beautiful, colorful vinyl discs and the gatefold cover is a feast for the eyes.

An all-time classic industrial track that has been played in the clubs every weekend since its release in 1986 - to this day. Happy to have this finally in my collection.

Interstellar (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

One of the best sci-fi movies of recent years made a big impression on me, and I had to have the soundtrack. The Expanded Edition contains 4 LPs.

London Symphony Orchestra
There it is - from 1977. And yes - the original "Cantina Band track" is also on this fantastic double album. :)

De La Remix
De La Soul
I love Remixes. And this De La Soul compilation from 1992 was a long time "under the radar" for me. So I'm very happy to hold this one now in my hands - and it's also in a very good condition.

Miami Vice: The Complete Collection
Jan Hammer
I have A LOT of music from one of the best 80s TV Series. But this is a very rare and the most extensive release of Jan Hammer's music for "Miami Vice".

WestBam
WestBam
Westbam's debut album had been on my wish list for a very long time. In the 90s I only had a tape recording of it, which I listened to almost every day at the time. A great and diverse album from one of the most important DJs on the planet to this day.

Move To Move
Kon Kan
A really underrated electronic album from the canadian synthpop group Kon Kan. You need a lucky day, if you will get this release in almost new conditions. Now I had one of these days. :D

Grand Medley 84-88
Various
Oh my God. After I recorded the Grandmix 88 & 89 on tape I couldn't have imagined that I would have all the Grandmixes from the 80s at home 35 years later.
