Rote Kapelle - 7"s

Here are the three 7"s that Edinburgh band Rote Kapelle released. The 'Big Smell Dinosaur' 7" is the first one and was self released. The other two released on In Tape.
Got a comment from ex-bassplayer Malk who was surprized to see people still interested in Rote Kapelle. And he makes no objections to making their music available for download.

hi. are you familiar w/ the band called Band of Slaves?
i saw their video back in the early 90's called 'eternity' and it was really cool.
can't find anything 'bout them anywhere so hope you can help.
i'm sure you'll like 'em..

Nice to see the first single again. Haven't dug it out of a record box for many years. It was indeed self released and the only reason for that was that we couldn't get anybody, at the time, to release one of our records. So we did it ourselves.
There was only 500 copies of these pressed and each sleeve was coloured in by hand by a member of the band. At least there were six of us to get the job done!.

Yeah Malk forgot to mention the hand colouring. Must have taken some time, even with six ...

I remember rote kapelle.They did a John Peel Session. The man himself was very enthusiastic, but he wasn't sure how to pronounce their German name properly, but then neither were the band. They really had something. The singer used to take the piss out of everybody and everything.
