Band 153 ‎– Leben Verboten (1985)

PILA MUSIC – 20.129, GERMANY, 1985

VG-/VG
Heavy used shape. Vinyl shows several light and medium scratches. Plays with permanent vintage vinyl noises. But it’s possible to play, no skips or needle jumps. Heavy used but still useful. The cover looks nice, shows some edge wear and other light signs of age. Frontside with a large name written on. The cover picture is a generic one, has nothing to do with the actual offer.

But if you are searching for a better copy … just let me know. There is also a better one and even a unplayed MINT copy in the WIWWG.COM back-stock.

BAND 153 ‎
Leben Verboten

Pila Music ‎– 20.129
Germany
1985

The band Gruppe 153 was formed out of the work of the evangelical youth work Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany. Founded in 1968 and until the 1990s they were well known in the German Christian music scene. Gruppe 153 released a couple of records, played concerts all over Germany and they were also on a mission in the former DDR (German Democratic Republic) for the Xian Music followers behind the iron curtain. The group name BAND 153 ‎or also often GRUPPE 153 is based upon a John’s Gospel text part of the bible (Johannes – Kapitel 21,6 – Vers 11) where is mentioned the number 153 more precisely is there written about the miraculous catch of 153 fish.

Johannes – Kapitel 21,6 – Vers 11
Jesus sagte zu ihnen: “Werft das Netzt an der rechten Seite des Bootes aus, so werdet ihr etwas finden”. Da warfen sie es aus und konnten’s nicht mehr herausziehen vor lauter Fischen. Simon Petrus stieg in das Boot und zog das Netz auf das Land; darin waren hundertdreiundfünfzig grosse Fische. Und obwohl es so viele waren, zerriß das Netz nicht.

Video

Besides songs that treat religious themes, BAND 153 made music with messages about social criticism. So also on the tune VIDEO which is about wasting time, getting blunted, and losing friends while watching movies on Video Home System. Balearic grooving kind of Media-Criticism-Disco with a groovy bassline and some mad sound effects.
