With "Die Kleinen Und Die B?sen", the second album of the German-American Friendship aka DAF, originally released in June 1980 on Mute Records, the band celebrated their international breakthrough. At that time DAF consisted of four musicians: Chrislo Haas (synths, tape, saxophone), later member of Liaisons Dangereuses and Crime & The City Solution, Wolfgang Spelmanns (guitar, synths), Robert G?rl (drums, vocals) and Gabi Delgado (lead vocals). The first 8 tracks of the album were produced by Conny Plank in his legendary studio near Cologne, the other 11 tracks were all recorded live in London's Electric Ballroom and later remixed by Conny Plank. "Die Kleinen Und Die B?sen" contains the classics "Osten W?hrt Am L?ngsten", "Co Co Pino" and "Nacht Arbeit", while the live recordings were all pure, style-forming electro-punk. The cover artwork was designed by Robert G?rl, Frank Fenstermacher (Der Plan) and Simone Grant, the typography of the inside pocket was created by Christina Schnekenburger.
