Thomas “Tommi” Piper is a German actor, voice actor and musician who played his first roles in movies in the 60`s. He is well known in Germany for having done the voice-over for the TV-character ALF. 
It says on the back of the sleeve that he premiered as entertainer April 22, 1974 with a two and a half hour show called “Show about Show”. His first album ” Tommi Piper Entertainer” , produced by Michael Holm, came out in January 1976
“Monotonek” is a parody-version of Carl Douglas`s “Kung Fu Fighting” with changed lyrics in German. This is a comedy record first, that is making fun of the monotonous Disco music and the fancy Disco scene , but musically this is also surprisingly rockin`.

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.
