Edition Roger

About

Edition Roger is an underground cassette label that emerged in the early 1980s, operating from a German-speaking region based on available release information. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to experimental and avant-garde music, primarily releasing material on cassette format—a medium favored by underground and DIY music communities during that era. With a documented discography including "Live In Der Burse 82" (1982) and "Nr. 9" (1982), Edition Roger maintained an output aligned with the experimental underground music scene of the early 1980s. The label's release strategy and format choices situate it within the broader context of independent European experimental music distribution during a period when cassettes served as the primary vehicle for fringe and experimental artists to reach niche audiences. The sparse but focused catalog suggests Edition Roger operated as a small, artist-oriented imprint rather than a commercial venture, contributing to the decentralized network of underground labels that characterized the European experimental music scene of this period.
