Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse (Volume 1) / The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (Volume 1.) (RSD 24)

After the incredible chart success last year of Propaganda’s ‘The Heart Is Strange’, and its accompanying Record Store Day release of rarities, UMR / ZTT are celebrating 40 years since Propaganda’s landmark 1984 single ‘Dr. Mabuse’. To mark the occasion comes this coloured vinyl Record Store Day mini-album, created around the rarities in the ZTT vaults. Gathering together tracks that are rare or previously unreleased on vinyl, as well as being many long-deleted on CD, this 8-track wonder showcases a plethora of different interpretations of one of the mid-‘80s landmark electronic pop songs. Highlights include: ‘The Last Word’, previously only on CD versions of ‘A Secret Wish’; the 10-minute DJ Promo version ’Das Testament des Dr, Mabuse’, also never released on vinyl; the heavily industrial ‘Im Stahlnetz Des Mabuse’ and the limited 1984 12” version of Das Testament Des Dr Mabuse (13th Life Mix)’.
