I accidentally knocked the teetering book pile next to my desk over yesterday. While sorting through the debris this morning, I found two envelopes full of DDR labels. I thought I'd scanned all the ones I own. But these didn't all look familiar. Bugger me. 500 labels I'd forgotten I had.
I know what I'm like. If I'd just left them, they'd get buried under books again and remain unscanned. Best get on with it now or just write them off.
I'm so glad I did. There are some crackers. And quite a few I've never seen before.
I also need to start cranking the blog posts out, what with a lengthy US trip on the near horizon. What better excuse to fill space with label images?
My favorite German imports both hail from former DDR, Radeberger Pilsner and Kostritzer Schwarzbier. It was the favorite tipple of the Dresden KGB chief Vladimir Putin, who reportedly buys it by the barrel to this day.
