Hello everybody!
So that the podcast's summer break doesn't get too long, we have a nice special for you!
We welcome Andreas Kraska, the author of the book ‘Pink Floyd - The Records’, also known as the ultimate ‘bootleg bible’.
Even though this episode was recorded in German, it should definitely be watched by all Pink Floyd enthusiasts. Don't hesitate, because hand-created subtitles should give you, the English-speaking fans, also a good understanding.

In this episode we have a visit from Andreas Kraska, who is not only the author of the famous and banned "Bootleg Bible" called ‘PINK FLOYD - The Records’, but also owned one of the largest Pink Floyd collections in Europe (if not worldwide).
For the first time, Andreas talks openly about his involvement in various bootlegs, his legal problems with the publication of his book and how he discussed possible legal fees with David Gilmour and Nick Mason in a hotel lobby in germany.
Finally, Andreas tells us about his other hobby, the collecting of Tefifon equipment, an exciting invention from the 50s that unfortunately never became a success.
Andreas has been deeply rooted in the Pink Floyd scene for over 40 years, was well connected to all the big names in the Pink Floyd community and it was a pure joy to talk to him.
Due to the fact that both Andreas Kraska and the host Nils Zehnpfennig are from Germany, we decided to conduct the interview in German with English subtitles.
