These recordings, previously unreleased in this form, are from tape recordings that Werner made at home in the late 70s to early 80s with his then newly acquired tape recorder - a TEAC A-3340S 4Channel. "Pure Werner", so to speak.

Once upon a time… - fairy tales often begin with these familiar and beloved words. But only fairy tales? It can’t be a coincidence that Jens Kommnick opens his new solo album “Stringed” with the piece “Es war einmal (Once Upon a Time)”. His compositions make one thing clearly perceptible and audible: this is Jens Kommnick himself, who lends a soul to the songs with his human warmth.

"The idea to re-release 'Win or Lose' on Stockfisch Records came from Günter Pauler after I had sent him the original master-tape that I had found amongst my archive material. I thought he might be interested, mainly because the original quality of recording was so good. Furthermore, it fell within the parameters of quality that Stockfisch demand from all of their recordings, so we decided to go ahead with the idea, releasing it on the 'Analog Pearls' series.

It is almost forty years since that original recording, and although much has changed as regards recording techniques and equipment, I hope the songs have stood the test of time, and you, the listener, will enjoy the result." Allan Taylor, 2020

Stockfisch Records is happy to present this 40-year-old recording of Craig Hadden &
Charlie Carr recreating some of their favourite songs from the 1950s. Originally pressed
on vinyl in very small numbers in 1980, this rare recording has now been transferred from
the original reel-to-reel master and is being re-released in three formats.

Available as SACD, LP and digital download.

In 1979 Chris Jones and Charlie Carr came together to record some of their own songs
along with a few traditional pieces. The tapes of this recording lay hidden in the Stockfisch
archive for 40 years, only to resurface again in 2019. Stockfisch Records is glad to release
the results of this collaboration as the third album in its "Analog Pearls" series.

Available as SACD, LP and digital download.

Some time ago, Werner thought of slowing down his life on stage and recording his maybe last album. No one could have guessed that it suddenly became sad reality. At first we met in the studio at longer intervals. This is how wonderful songs were recorded many of them joined by guitarist friends of Werner. 

When Werner's life-threatening illness broke out, we began to work more and more intensively. One of his last great wishes was to hear the final mixes. We made it - together - and he was so happy.

ANDREAS ROHDE visited our Northeim studio in 1983. It was impossible not to notice his admiration for LEO KOTTKE. The tuning and the selection of strings on Rhode’s 12-string GIBSON B-25 and the GUILD F 212C sound quite like those of his idol. Of course, the lyrics and the timbre of his voice remain distinctly his own.

"Thanks to the excellent sound equipment and the careful production by Günter Pauler I can listen to these old recordings still in good conscience - here you just listen to the state of my musical development at that time, no ifs and buts." Martin Kolbe, June 2014

Werner Lämmerhirt - a guitarist with an unmistakeable sound, his instrumental prowess and songwriting talent extend far beyond the boundaries of the Folk-Scene. His playing is a tour-de-force, combining Folk, Swing and Blues in Werner’s trademark style – powerful and rhythmic, but at the same time relaxed, almost playful.
A production from 1992 - Werner’s collaboration with flautist Volker Leiß makes this CD especially interesting.
