After the incredible chart success last year of Propaganda’s ‘The Heart Is Strange’, and its accompanying Record Store Day release of rarities, UMR / ZTT are celebrating 40 years since Propaganda’s landmark 1984 single ‘Dr. Mabuse’.To mark the occasion comes this coloured vinyl Record Store Day mini-album, created around the rarities in the ZTT vaults. Gathering together tracks that are rare or previously unreleased on vinyl, as well as being many long-deleted on CD, this 8-track wonder showcases a plethora of different interpretations of one of the mid-‘80s landmark electronic pop songs. Highlights include: ‘The Last Word’, previously only on CD versions of ‘A Secret Wish’; the 10-minute DJ Promo version ’Das Testament des Dr, Mabuse’, also never released on vinyl; the heavily industrial ‘Im Stahlnetz Des Mabuse’ and the limited 1984 12” version of Das Testament Des Dr Mabuse (13th Life Mix)’.
