RAMMSTEIN - ASCHE ZU ASCHE

Back in 2001 I was crazy for Rammstein.  Everything they were putting out I was buying.  Including import singles.  In fact, I was more interested in owning import copies, especially German copies, of their releases than the American versions.  This particular item was a tasty treat.  Rammstein had just released their first live concert film, "Live Aus Berlin" with simultaneous CD release.  Initially, you could buy the film on VHS and the soundtrack on CD.  Eventually, it had a DVD release, but that was a fiasco by itself.  And a disappointment.  But I'll discuss that at a later date.

The double live album was a huge release for them that year and yet there wasn't a single released to accompany the album with the exception of this one.  And it was only released in Australia.  The single contains the album version of the song 'Asche Zu Asche' and then five live tracks exactly as they appear on the CD release.  There's nothing new on this disc.  Nothing special.  Other than the fact you get a unique cover and at the time a collector's item.

I was thrilled to get this disc and happy to add it to my collection.  Even though, as far as content, value wasn't there.  My final words:  UNIQUE COLLECTOR'S ITEM!
