Buildings at Potsdamer Platz on the normal front cover. The stickers are in BSR orange. The inner sleeve was screen-printed with a closed-down Neukölln Eckkneipe.
Limited version had a special cover inlay with a ripoff of the classic Berlin KZ36 compilation LP. Inner sleeve has gold print and the vinyl is white.
The famous ICC skater-friendly underpass by the central bus station is the fold-out inner cover design.
V/A – Berlin Tristesse compilation 7″
HeartFirst release BEAT 050, so it was an anniversary release for the label. Seven Berlin bands with songs that are unavailable elsewhere.
The packaging is pretty epic. Panel-folded cover, lyric sheet, A3 poster, and a bunch of postcards.
Most bands featured here went on to put out a ton of other releases, but there are also more unknown gems, like BITTER CROP.
This special version called “Captain Vicious” edition comes on white vinyl, has a different inner sleeve print, an additional flyer, and two more postcards.
