Our first release, if memory serves, was in 2002. Damn, time flies so fast when you're having fun. The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years but one detail has remained the same: We're still putting out great music. That's a bit reassuring, isn't it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo we thought in our Tapete Building at Stahltwiete 10 in Hamburg-Altona: Let's look back and start a series of good, old-fashioned, fantastic label compilations in the style of \"\u003cem\u003eShadow Factory\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eTamla Motown Is Hot! Hot! Hot!\u003c\/em\u003e\" or \"\u003cem\u003eWanna Buy A Bridge?\u003c\/em\u003e\"...something like that. And so here is \u003cem\u003eIntact \u0026amp; Smiling - The Weird \u0026amp; Wonderful World Of Tapete Records Vol.1\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt wasn't that easy to choose 28 out of about 5000 released songs, but what's easy? Therefore a series. \u003cem\u003eIntact \u0026amp; Smiling Vol. 1\u003c\/em\u003e concentrates on the poppy side of Tapete Records, the basic tone is upbeat and uplifting. Can't hurt these days. The title comes from the \u003cem\u003eJohn Howard \u0026amp; The Night Mail\u003c\/em\u003e song which says: \"\u003cem\u003eIntact and smiling, an independent soul, nobody's slave\u003c\/em\u003e\". What could be more fitting?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would like to thank all the great artists who have released music with us over the last two decades, especially the bands and artists who have so kindly and unbureaucratically made available their great songs for this compilation. And of course a big thank you to you who listen to, buy and stream (well, yes) Tapete Records albums and songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo close your eyes, open your ears, open your hearts, open up a bottle and step into \u003cem\u003eThe Weird \u0026amp; Wonderful World Of Tapete Records Vol. 1\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapete","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50894144274763,"sku":"1170095","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50894144602443,"sku":"1170097","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/f439f0a8-bcc2-465f-8dab-38f2aaae30aa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732637593","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/intact-and-smiling-the-weird-and-wonderful-world-of-tapete-records-vol-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
