Background, content and release

edit

Wanda Jackson had become known in North America as a Rockabilly and Country performer, with English language singles such as "Fujiyama Mama" (1958), "Let's Have a Party" (1960) and "Right or Wrong".[2] After reaching a period of limited commercial success, Jackson's label (Capitol Records) asked if she could record a selection of songs for the German music market. Jackson agreed and flew to Cologne, Germany to work alongside Austrian record producer Otto Demler.[3] Between March and October 1965, Demler recorded a series of German language songs, beginning with "Santo Domingo".[4] In her autobiography, Jackson recounted recording all of the music without any of the musicians present since their sessions had previously been recorded.[3]

In 1967, Made in Germany was released on Capitol Records[4] in conjunction with their German imprint, Electrola Records.[5] The album was issued as a vinyl LP, containing eight tracks on either side. It was Jackson's first compilation released entirely for international music markets. The album consisted of material previously released to German language markets. Several of these tracks had been single releases as well: "Santo Domingo", "Morgen, Ja Morgen", "Doch dann kam Johnny", "Komm Heim, Mein Wandersmann", "Wer an Das Meer Sein Herz Verliert", "Wenn Der Abschied Kommt", "Vom Winde Verweht" and "Addio My Love".[4] "Santo Domingo" had reached the number one spot on the German music chart in 1965.[2][5] In 2021, it was re-released to digital and streaming sites with an expanded track listing.[6]
