Doc Wör Mirran's Shaped Records

The various members of DWM were always big record collectors, and from the very beginnings of DWM, it was always our intention to create releases especially intended for collectors and fans of vinyl. Many of our singles have since become collectors items. This page documents our efforts in cool collectable shaped vinyl records (gosh, maybe we do have a breast fetish!). We figure that as long as vinyl records exist, we will do our best to release the weirdest, coolest vinyl for all you junkies out there. Dig in!

Releases:

In late 1994, we find ourselves at a big crossroads in the history of our label(s), and of DWM. To commemorate all of this, we have decided to do a very special release, namely, a three pointed shaped record. It commemorates 10 years of both Doc Wör Mirran and MT, is the 300th MT release and is also the 100th from Musical Tragedies. Finally, it is the 50th Doc Wör Mirran release so far! Musically, both songs feature Mani Schumann doing his weird Franken dialect vocals. Due to the shape, both songs are short (about two minutes each), and feature the usual DWM crew of Joseph B. Raimond, Ralf Lexis and Peter Schuster. As usual, the title is by .mario. First pressing of 500 yellow vinyl with black splotches, second pressing of 300 on clear. Due to the difficulty in shaping this particular record, many of them were destroyed while shaping, so the actual amount in existance is hard to determine, and probably a lot less. In fact, the second, clear pressing, was so difficult to shape, that most of the records were left round, and packaged into the triangle cover and held together with nuts and bolts! All labels black with silver printing. Like the vinyl, the cover is also three sided, featuring drawings by Joseph B. Raimond, printed in silver on black paper. Released December 20th, 1994, exactly 10 years after MT-001, the Numb Tongues No Taste sampler cassette.

Part seven in our on-going series of saw-blade shaped vinyl singles. The CB track is off their part of the CD of the same name. The DWM side though is exclusive to this release, and features Andropovski screaming through a barrage of total noise. This track is by far the most "industrial" track so far released by DWM. Also included are performances by Joseph B. Raimond, Peter Schuster, Frans De Waard, Michael Wurzer, Emil Beaulieau and Adrian Gormley. A photo of Peter and Joe on the inside by .mario., taken while waiting for the Ringo Starr concert in Aschaffenburg to start. Both bands are loud, experimental, and made to be played at maximum volume. First pressing of 500 on multi-colored vinyl, second pressing of 500 on clear.
