Description from the seller
Lot of 5 AMIGA LPs – Western Rock Licensed for East Germany (1970s–1980s)
This set brings together 5 AMIGA editions released in the former East Germany (GDR), a fascinating chapter in vinyl history: the strictly curated introduction of Western rock behind the Iron Curtain. Each LP was pressed in limited numbers under official licensing agreements with Western labels, giving these versions a unique identity highly valued by collectors today.
Featuring major artists such as Eric Clapton, Cream, Roxy Music,Genesis and Jethro Tull, these records represent the rare selection of Western music that AMIGA allowed to circulate within the GDR. They stand out for their distinctive artwork, specific mastering, and cultural significance—they served as one of the very few authorized gateways to international rock for East German listeners.
A historically important and representative set for anyone interested in GDR pressings or international variations of classic rock albums.
