Death wish

[EDITOR'S NOTE: The opening of the Berlin Underground Music Archive [1920-1929] in November 2006 yeilded the discovery of a great many Spinke original wax recordings, both as a drag artist and as "himself." This editor is proud to present, fully restored, a recording from July 1922, in which Spinke performs alongside the woman who, nine years later, would become his wife. At this time, however, Spinke had just met Liza Herzkluge and this performance was apparently rather impromptu, with the song written, according to the diary of the manager of Der Seidenstrumpf, only minutes before the performance.]


"Bun in the Oven" written and performed by Amos J. Spinke and Liza Herzkluge.
