Barbara Dennerlein

A Russian bootleg CD of Barbara's "Take Off!" album is probably one of the top rarities for her fans. The original album, that had been released by Verve in 1995, was copied for the Russian market a couple of years later by a label called "Limited Edition" with the Galactic Company in the background. On the album back cover is printed an alleged license agreement No. 058/M3-98 from 24.08.98 for distribution in Russia. This hint - as the music data base discogs.com says -  can be found on many "Limited Edition" or "Galactic" CD's, but is obviously not true.


All Verve logos have been removed on the papers and the CD, and replaced by a new text layout. Instead of a 12 page booklet the CD only comes with a single fold sheet. And: the copyists made the mistake to write Barbara's name wrong as "barbara dennerlei."

It will remain a secret how many CD copies have been produced. We only know about one item that is listed on the Barbara Dennerlein Discography website bebab-jazz.de. Here you can find much information about more albums of and with Barbara Dennerlein inclusive an overall title catalogue and a list of all her originals that have been released yet.
