Luft raus – Hefe rein
Posted: June 25, 2008 Filed under: 80s, Private Pressings | Tags: Beer, Football 2 Comments »
Just to show how bad ( and funny ) German football enthusiasm can get here`s a private pressing of a amateur football club or rather a bar-team, the “FC Mutter Ernst”. The songs are all about drinking and playing football. Actually they`re more about drinking than anything else. And being “the pride of the bars of the nation”. The title on the sleeve says: “Air out- Yeast in”. It seems they had fun recording their club anthems and didn`t take themselves seriously at all. I love these kind of records and it continues to amaze me what people do in their spare time. This is a typical do-it-yourself release with no other intention than to leave some trace of themselves and having fun along the way. No release date given but from the their pictures you can guess sometime in the 80s.

About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
Dear all,
it has been funny to see our two old songs on this website. This bar team still exists, even being much older than on the pics shown on our cover. Based in Frankfurt, Germany, we are still playing football (slower than before), drinking beer (less than before) and having fun (as before) together in our spare time.
Visit our website http://www.fcmutternst.de for more information.
If there is anybody who wants to contact us or another bar team who wants to play football against us and having some beers afterwards please do not hesitate to contact us: wolfgang.eifert@eifert.eu
Hallo Wolfgang,
vielen Dank für den netten Kommentar.
Schön, daß ihr immer noch zusammen Fussball spielt.
Und euch das Bier noch schmeckt.
Gruß
Andreas
