Made in Germany 1995-2011 is a compilation by Rammstein. It was released on Friday, 2 December 2011.

Information

The initial release date was set to 28 November 2011, before being postponed to 2 December.

Content

The compilation includes songs from every album: Herzeleid (1), Sehnsucht (2), Mutter (5), Reise, Reise (4), Rosenrot (1) and Liebe ist für alle da (2). Additionally it includes one previously unreleased song: Mein Land. The compilation consists of mostly single-released songs (Mein Herz brennt was not released when the compilation came out). All songs have been remastered for this release and some differ slightly from earlier versions of the songs. The second CD consists of remastered remixes, that are all taken from earlier singles. All remixes have been renamed to include the name of the remixing artist, instead of their real names.

The limited edition of the compilation includes three DVDs with all music videos to the point of its release. Some making of videos were unreleased or produced exclusively for this release.

German Liedgut

Before any official announcements were made, it was rumored that the album would be called "German Liedgut", because bit_design GmbH (the band's website design company at the time) bought the following URLs on 11 April 2011:

Censoring

In the United States the tracklist of the release was censored. They changed "Pussy" into "P***y".

Also the video for "Pussy" is not included in its hardcore-porn version.

Production mistakes

There were several production mistakes with the super deluxe version of the album. Until 15 March 2012, buyers were able to request replacements by Universal.

Wie wir nach Auslieferung der MADE IN GERMANY 1995-2011 Super Deluxe Edition leider feststellen mussten, weist ein Teil der Auflage gravierende Mängel auf: so wurden Ton- und Bildtonträger teilweise falsch sortiert, so dass es zu Doppelungen bzw. fehlenden Bild-/Tonträgern kommt; bei einigen Boxen sind die Kanten nicht entgratet; auch gibt es bei Teilen der Boxen Hinweise auf Schrammen bzw. eine fehlerhafte Bedruckung der Verpackung und des Metallschubers; Flecken auf einigen Tüchern; die Buchbindung und der Buchumschlag des 240-seitigen Fotobuches ist fehlerhaft.

Somit entspricht die Super Deluxe Edition in keiner Weise der von RAMMSTEIN gewünschten und vom Hersteller zugesicherten Qualität. RAMMSTEIN hat die gesamte Produktion sorgfältig begleitet, die o.g. Fehler treten in den wenigen Bereichen auf, die außerhalb der Kontrollmöglichkeiten der Band liegen.

Universal Music bietet daher ab sofort jedem Käufer einer mangelhaften Super Deluxe Edition die Möglichkeit an, jede fehlerhafte Komponente portofrei umzutauschen und hat sich zu einer schnellen und unkomplizierten Fehlerbehebung verpflichtet.

Wer dieses Angebot in Anspruch nehmen möchte, schickt bitte eine Email unter Angabe des Mangels an folgende Adresse:

[email protected]

oder meldet Euch unter der Telefonnummer:

+49 30 52007 2355 (10-18h)

Dort erhaltet Ihr nach Aussage von Universal umgehend weitere Informationen zur Abwicklung des Umtausches.

Umtausch und Versand der korrekten Ton-/Bildtonträger bzw. des Fotobuches erfolgt nach Aussage von Universal schnellstmöglich. Da die Komponenten nun nachproduziert werden müssen, kann der Umtausch mehrere Wochen dauern. Bitte zeigt Eure Mängel ggü. Universal schnellstmöglich an, da eine Rücknahme seitens Universal nur bis zum 15. März 2012 zugesagt ist.

Wir bedauern die Unannehmlichkeiten und sind sehr irritiert, dass unsere Absprachen und Vorgaben seitens Universal und ihrer Zulieferer nicht eingehalten wurden.

As we unfortunately discovered after the shipment of the MADE IN GERMANY 1995-2011 Super Deluxe Edition, some of the copies in the print run have serious defects: in some cases, the audio and video discs were sorted incorrectly, resulting in duplicates or missing discs; on some boxes, the edges have not been deburred; there are also signs of scratches on some of the boxes, as well as printing errors on the packaging and the metal slipcase; stains on some of the cloths; and the binding and cover of the 240-page photo book are defective.

Consequently, the Super Deluxe Edition in no way meets the quality standards desired by RAMMSTEIN and guaranteed by the manufacturer. RAMMSTEIN carefully oversaw the entire production process; the aforementioned defects occur in the few areas that are beyond the band’s control.

Universal Music is therefore offering every purchaser of a defective Super Deluxe Edition the opportunity to exchange any defective component postage-free, effective immediately, and has committed to a quick and straightforward resolution of the issue.

If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please send an email describing the defect to the following address:

[email protected]

or contact us at the following phone number:

+49 30 52007 2355 (10 a.m.–6 p.m.)

According to Universal, you will receive further information there immediately regarding the exchange process.

According to Universal, the exchange and shipment of the correct audio/video media or photo book will take place as soon as possible. Since the items must now be remanufactured, the exchange may take several weeks. Please report any defects to Universal as soon as possible, as Universal has only agreed to accept returns until March 15, 2012.

We regret the inconvenience and are very frustrated that Universal and its suppliers failed to adhere to our agreements and specifications.

The next is not a real production mistake, more an information mistake:

  • The Japanese version of the super deluxe box wrote something of "Additional live footage" in the tracklist of DVD 3. That was a mistake and the release got delayed in Japan.

Another mistake is the following:

  • The booklet contains the third verse to Sonne, despite it being absent on the version of this release.

Promotion

The first mentioning and confirmation of all versions was in an online PDF file by Fontana Distributions. The text in the PDF for the album was the following one:

"SOME BANDS entertain, Rammstein destroy!

The German Industrial Rock stalwarts have released six studio albums, two live albums, and three video albums to date, and show no signs of slowing down. Made In Germany is a compilation of the band's greatest hits and comes in three different formats: standard (one disc), Deluxe (2 discs), and the Super Deluxe Metal Box (2 discs and 3 DVDs).
AS ANY follower of the Rammstein journey knows, it is in the live arena that the band truly connect with their fans. Cue mountains of pyro, flame-throwers, bazookas and enough ordnance to level a small country! This time, the musicians are looking to surpass their already formidable reputation as masters of orchestrated chaos, promising that no-one will leave disappointed ...

Marketing Points: • Press campaign focused on album reviews
• Outdoor marketing campaign to promote the album, including billboards, snipes and more
• US tour confirmed for the spring of 2012
• Online advertising campaign to promote album's release
• Album contains one brand new song, Mein Land.
• A video for that song is already in the can and will launch 4 weeks prior to release. The video was directed by acclaimed director Jonas Åkerlund.
• Monica Seide at Speakeasy PR will handle all press.
• A full metal radio campaign will be handled by The Syndicate with a focus on the new single and giveaways. Commercial active rock specialty shows will also be targeted.
• A 45-minute EPK is being put together and should be released in clips around the release.

• Print ad campaign to launch in magazines like Decibel, Revolver, and more..."

Another promotional step was to send out some packages to webmasters of several fansites. They got a box including masks of Till (one small, one huge one), stickers and other stuff. Everyone else, who did not get the package got a digital package, which included the following files:

Formats

The compilation came in three different formats. The first was a single disc version, containing only CD 1, while the second version included two CDs, the second of which only featuring remixes previously released on different singles. The third version is the Deluxe Version, containing both CDs and three additional DVDs, containing the complete video catalogue to that point. It came in a custom metal box, which started to rust after a while.

Misprint

No head on the back

For the special edition of the album, a misprint did not include any head on the back.
