"Emma" was a squatted large building in the Amsterdam harbor district turned into a bar and "non commercial" venue for punk rock, hardcore, "avant garde" minimal music/doodling, poetry etc. The place was run entirely by volunteers from B.G.K. and satellite bands. (Pictured on the sleeve is doorman Wouter, B.G.K's manager).In the summer of 1986 it became the veritable Mecca of the European hardcore scene. EVERYBODY played there.
