Childhood love. Those were our hits
Childhood love. These were our hits is a compilation series by Amiga ( BMG ). So far, four parts and a best-of album have been released. The songs represented on the compilation are predominantly to be assigned to hits and pop music, to a small extent to rock music .
concept
After the end of the German Democratic Republic , the Amiga record label was initially self-employed, but was taken over by BMG a little later. In the course of the so-called Ostalgie , there was a demand for music from the GDR on the music market. BMG, who had the entire Amiga archive, put together various samplers to meet this demand. One of these series and individual publications was Jugendliebe. Those were our hits . The title is based on the song Jugendliebe by Ute Freudenberg from 1980.
The compilation was carried out through a vote of the listeners of Antenne Brandenburg and the readers of the television magazine FF . In addition to established artists such as Karat and City , artists such as Nina Hagen (you forgot the color film) and Manfred Krug (when you are asleep, my child) who fell out of favor in the GDR were represented .
Best of
In 1995 a best-of album of the four-part series was released. The edition "Club Exclusiv" was published on the Sonocord label . On the cover is a blue-purple Trabant 601 with a license plate that says “ I am a GTI hunter”.
