1980 - Mannheim's famous Punk/Wave/Rock Record Shop - ROCK ON

1980 - Mannheims most famous Record Shop ever ! From 1978 to 1982. Most sold music at the time : Punk / New Wave / Power Pop / Hard Rock (the upcoming new version : Metal). The quality isn't so good (but much better than some Andy Warhol film:-). If you like to film with that video - camera you had to carry a complete recorder with you and you could only film with 2 or 3 spotlights. In this clip we hadn't any. That's why it is so dark.But this is a real Mannheim Document. The language you hear in this clip is an Southern Germany idiom called "Pälzisch". The Music in the background is COCKNEY REJECTS. A punk band from London. You hear their album called GREATEST HITS Vol.1 ! I think some of our young customers, then between 15 and 20, now between 55 and 60, will have tears in their eyes when they see this clip ! Camera : Erich Biruk !

Geil, da hatte jemand spaß an seinem Beruf. Auf welches Videoformat wurde das aufgenommen ?

Keine Ahnung - das war eine VHS Casette die man in einen tragbaren Videorecorder einlegen musste (1980). Später, so Ende der 80er habe ich das auf MPG4 umgespielt.
