We ham ' not long enough is the eighth studio album by the German rock band Böhse Onkelz. It was released on August 26, 1991 at the Frankfurt label Bellaphon Records.
The album was awarded in 1997 to more than 250,000 units sold in Germany with a gold record.
Background
Bellaphon Records itself was a distributor of Metal Enterprises. The signing of the contract was valid on January 1, 1991. Through the label change the sound quality of the recordings for the album improved compared to the previous albums, because the record company had more funds and you could fall back on a higher technical equipment. The band experimented a more and built elements of various styles of music, so this album is in turn a musical development.
Stephan Weidner first met in itself as a producer of a Böhse Onkelz album in appearance. The album is seen by the Onkelz themselves as " entry into the professional phase."
Cover design
The album contains a cover, as it did the cover of Kneipenterroristen, an image from the Watchmen comics. This shows the detail of a bloody clock. In the upper part there is the lettering Böhse Onkelz, at the bottom is the title we ham ' not long enough. In the picture from the comic, an error has crept in: the cartoonist of the comic built by mistake twice the Roman numeral for a twelve - once at their place and once at the place where actually the Elf should be.
