| | Bang Bang was not, as it's name suggests, a Eurovision song contest entry! It was around the time that punk had kicked off and taken the prog rock, concept album, errm concept and shaken it to the core. This was the Schafts response. |
|
| | A strange one this. Still very much in their early days, they felt they needed to push on a bit (maybe even produce a track longer than a book of great German bands apart from Kraftwerk). It was inspired by the Schafts first overseas holiday together. |
|
| | Once again, a departure for the band. Sounds like an attempt to mature a bit, but too much like early OMD for them to make a splash anywhere but their native Munich. |
|
| | Again, a departure for the band. This time they were desperate for a hit outside of Munich. Written by Andreas Schäfer, this was, in fact, quite a cool attempt at funk. Something they hadn't tried before. | |
|
| | Seen as a joke by many, this, in fact, was a serious attempt to crack the UK market. Their then manager, Klaus Konschtickeltoffen, had seen Brian Ferry make it big with Jealous Guy and felt a cover might be the business for the Schafts. | |
|
| | After their manager's departure Andreas Schäfer gave the boys some direction when he penned this EuroBeat hit. | |
|
| | Although not breaking them in the UK this track, penned by Philip Bäcker, did do quite well in Europe, most noticably in Greece where there were some sales. | |
