Recently the ARSC list posted info on the problems with the increasing number of unstable modern concrete structures, and how safety concerns were rumored (not true) to have led to the relocation, and unavailability, of the great pop music collection at Bowling Green State University. But an archive in Cologne did collapse. The heading for this info was, cleverly, Einstürzende Neubauten.
So just for fun, here is our hard-to-catalog list of Einstürzende Neubauten recordings @ ARC, alpha by title, not including compilations, white label promos or the uncatalogued 30plus twelve-inch singles and 11 seven-inch singles in the collection. As point of reference ARC has catalogued 32 more EN recordings than the Library of Congress and 27 more than Bowling Green.
