About 4 month ago, Jesus Canneloni, the wonderful and wild sax player of the german polit rock band Schröder Roadshow, died. To remember Jesus and his far-out sax sound, we will post today and in the next few weeks some Schroeder Roadshow gems.

With their anarchistic slogans and subversiv statements, their great live shows and their sarcastic humor Schröder Roadshow were a very important part of the german polit rock subculture. Schroeder Roadshow was – besides Ton Steine Scherben – the german political rock band in the seventies and eighties of the last century.

This album was released in 1983 and never re-released on cd. 1983 – that was the year a lot of us took part in the great peace happenings all around Europe, we were part of the “human chain” and die-in´s against atomic weapons. And the more ironical and sassy approach of the Roadshow was a very welcome antidote to the sometimes unbearable affected and whining mood in the west german left wing political scene of these days. Thanks a lot for this and all the great gigs!
