The fifth single on another label, as well as the 51st (!) DWM music release and the 59th DWM release so far (including books). The title of the record of course makes great fun of all those incredibly boring MTV “unplugged” recordings. This is more guitar oriented, dominated by Ralf Lexis songs. Recorded at both Lexisound and at Two Car Garage studios in 1993. Three songs in total, the second of which, “”Blisters Of Mercy”, features Dick, Phil and Jasper of Citizen Fish/Subhumans, and we are happy to have them with us. Also appearing is Joseph B. Raimond, Peter Schuster (debuting on vocals, guess where!), Denise Kusiak, Ralf Lexis as we already mentioned, Jeandra Raimond who did the front cover lettering, Bernd De Payrebrune who did the great Albrecht Dürer “art” in the booklet, Jeannette Gustavus and Andropovski who wrote the poems in the booklet, and Bernd Spörl who helped title the songs. Cover, label (only one is printed!) and 8 page booklet are black and white printing. Also, this is the only DWM record where the inside of the cover is also printed, featuring a list of all the DWM members who are NOT on the recording (just like Crass used to do!). Pressed on both purple and on black vinyl, 500 made, released in December 1995.
