There are only a few german bands who were as successful as Hubert Kah in the 80s. After their perfect definition of the Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) with their debut Rosemarie they didn’t rest, but kept on writing musical history. Until this day he album Goldene Zeiten is considered one of the best german language recordings of the 80s. It was re-recorded in english and brought them to big fame in japan and the usa as well. As a result the next album was recorded in english right away and gave them the international hit singles Limousine and Military Drums togehter with new producer Michael Cretu (later Enigma) and Armand Volker. so8os and Blank & Jones Online are longtime fans and have now searched the archives with all three original band members Markus Löhr, Hubert Kah and Klaus Hischburger. As the result here are all the original 12″ mixes of the 80s. All versions appear on CD for the first time and are carefully remastered from the original master tapes. Beside the extended versions here is also the very rare Japan EP included as well as the Francois Kevorkian Remix of the song The Picture. The 16 side booklet also includes all original single artwork plus many unseen photos.
