CBS GERMANY RECORDS
CBS Records International, simply CBS in logo, was the international arm of the Columbia Records unit of Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. (CBS) that was formed in 1961 and launched in 1962. Previously Columbia Records had been using other record companies to distribute Columbia recordings outside North America, such as Philips Records and its subsidiary Fontana (now associated with Universal Music Group) in Europe.

Born in East Berlin, Nina Hagen was gaining a reputation for being a flamboyant rock singer before she emigrated to the West in 1976. With the Nina Hagen Band, she made two albums for CBS Germany Records and then released her first English-language album, NunSexMonkRock in 1982, where she displays the multi-octave range of her voice. Her music blends an eccentric punk-rock vibe with a true theatrical sensibility.
