I just bought close to a dozen of these Amiga label discs. I like the different covers, this is what collectors like of course, even if they look kind of cheap - like K-Tel style TV promoted LPs from the west in the 1970s. Still! I like the liner notes (in German) educational. And, also the compilations are really nice and different and not available elsewhere, and perfect for bands I only like "Best Of s" from -like Phil Collins or Joe Cocker or SAGA gathering -up the best of that period when the sound is not the most important thing as just having the best hits. AMIGA FILLS A VOID is what I say.

Edited 3 years agoThe main problem with the inconsistent Amiga vinyl pressings is the fact,
that they have to blend the rare virgin vinyl with slate powder. -

Edited 11 years agoI lived in West Berlin from 1988-92 and I purchased an arm full of these releases from the former East Berlin, I would play them once and record them to cassette because the assumption was that these records were made of inferior quality and the sound would degrade gradually the more you played them. Anyone know if that assumption is true?

Most of the AMIGA records have plain white inner sleeves. Only a very few have lyrics or ment printed on them. You can find printed inner sleeves not much earlier then the 1980s.
Licensed editions mostly have no printed inner sleeves.

I recently got about 8 Amiga releases and all had plain white inner sleeves. They all came second hand from the same place, so I am wondering if this person just replaced all the inner sleeves with new white ones or if all Amiga releases came that way.
One of them was Dark Side of the Moon (which I am glad to learn is a Quadraphonic version) and it was also without the posters and stickers.
I am thinking that maybe Amiga releases did not come with picture inner sleeves or any of the inserts that came with other original releases, but not sure and wonder if anybody knows more about these German releases.
