Mushroom (record label)

Pilz was a German record label from Ohr & Pilz Musik Produktion , Berlin, and was active in 1971 and 1972. 20 LPs and 7 singles were released on Pilz.

history

The origins of Pilz go back to BASF Musikproduktion . A BASF Musikproduktion label designed by Jürgen Schmeisser for the growing German rock market called mouse , which had already produced albums with groups such as Dies Irae , Ardo Dombec , McChurch Soundroom or Virus, was in favor of the label founded at the same time by Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and Peter Meisel Mushroom set again. On Pilz , for which BASF took over the distribution, the finished starter package was published by mouse without further ado .

In contrast to the psychedelic, electronically oriented label Ohr , which Kaiser also ran, Pilz concentrated more on folk-oriented, quieter rock bands. The label's history ended in 1972 with the release of Popol Vuh's Hosanna mantra .

Well-known artists who published on Pilz included a. Wallenstein and Jerry Berkers (solo album), as well as Popol Vuh , Witthüser & Westrupp or Hölderlin . In the 1980s, the editions of Pilz experienced a comeback as reissues on the Pop Import Mikulski label .

Appearance

The trademark of the label is a toadstool , which adorns the front cover with a small plate number and can be seen in large on the label on page 1. The page 2 label contains the title list for both pages. Numerous long-playing records in the original edition appeared as gatefold covers, designed with photographs by the artist Marcel Fugère.
