Soundtrack album from the 1979 movie Cha Cha, stars Herman Brood, Nina Hagen, and Lene Lovich, with most of the music played by Herman Brood & His Wild Romance (Dutch Blues group)
Cha Cha is centred on a bank robber who wants to become a rock star and the setting for the movie is Amsterdam's punk & new wave music scene in the late 70's
Funky Rock N' Roll, Rock & Punk music from various German and Dutch bands.
At least one of the tracks is pretty well known, "Home" by Lene Lovich "Lets Go To Your Place", then there is Nina Hagen performing "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" what a knockout cover, Nina performs very much in the UK hard punk style and has an incredibly versatile voice. Then just to change the pace, Sonny & The Dulfergang sing very mean blues - and there are many other great songs on this album.

New Zealand release
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no writing and very light edge wear from handling.
New inner clear sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see no scratches/marks on either side. I then played the entire album and the first thing I noticed was an ever so slight (little) wave in the vinyl, it is really small but you can see it is not perfectly flat. THIS WILL IN NO WAY CAUSE TRACKING ISSUES. As for the vinyl itself, what a beautiful play! Surface noise is extremely low and just the very occasional click/pop - barely a noise at all, just great music!
New outer protective cover
