Title: Nina Hagen Band – Nina Hagen Band
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre: 1978 / Rock / Punk, New Wave
Matrix #: TSM 167691
Condition: G — lots of wear, but plays fine with some surface noise

Cultural Facts:

1. Hagen landed in West Germany after leaving East Germany, and her whole persona became a living collision of Cold War politics, media spectacle, and punk-era shock tactics—she wasn’t just “a singer,” she was a cultural event.

2. Late-70s West Berlin was a pressure cooker for art and provocation; this record sits right in that moment where punk, cabaret weirdness, and new wave began mixing into something distinctly German and distinctly confrontational.

3. Nina Hagen became a key bridge between underground scenes and mainstream attention in Europe—proof that punk didn’t have to be “authentic and stoic” to be real; it could be theatrical, chaotic, and still hit hard.
