The Working Model

Boytronic was founded in the early 80's in Hamburg by Holger Wobker (aka Bryllyant Berger) and Peter Sawatzki. At the beginning, under the moniker of Kapitõn Sehnsucht, they were in charge of making the soundtrack for some seedy sex shows on Hamburg's famous 'Mile of Sin'. After a while, the boys found that not so satisfying and, through it was a well-paid job, they decided to leave hoping to break into the world of pop music as Boytronic. They already had some demo songs that got the attention of Mercury Records. The first single "You" was recorded highly influenced by the sound of New Order and Patrick Cowley. It didn't go very well at the beginning. It was just a moderate club hit, but soon after they got lucky and performed "You" on a German TV Show. Just after this, sales reached 80,000 copies in the first week and had a major hit in the German charts reaching position 10. This sudden success was followed by the recordings of the debut album "The Working Model" that was finished in only fourteen days and released at the end of 1983. "The Working Model" is considered as one of the best techno-pop releases coming from Germany in the 80's. An album more than 40 years old and still sounding so fresh and authentic.Limited edition of 400 copies on black vinyl with gatefold sleeve, A2 poster and sticker. Includes all tracks from the original album plus some classic remixes of "You", "Diamonds and Loving Arms", "Trigger Track" and "Bryllyant".
