Did you know there was an eastern German (communist) record label called Amiga way before the Amiga Computers?

Depending on where you search they show up in the results. Search for Amiga books on Amazon and there they are

Can be a bit confusing at first, when you see the pictures and expect something about computer.

I think the Spanish also have some kind of claim on the word

I see Amiga Records on Bay occasionally, mostly western acts having their music being taken across the Berlin wall. Can't recall seeing Lionel Richie's old band, but I'll look out for them. I wonder if the restaurant serves Dizzy Rancheros?

Wouldn't that be 'dead and split open Dizzy Rancheros'?

Yeah, when I've seen such a record on some local market the temptation to buy one was strong in me and I barely coped...

I see so many weird old records when I look for Amiga on eBay.

How did "Amiga Schallplatten" not want money from Commodore for using their brand?

Different sector. A brand applies to a sector and computers and records aren't the same sector.

You can have more than one company with the same name/brand if their purposes are different

I could open and register a company called "Amiga" today for developing and selling Bird-Feeding machines ... well, if there isn´t one yet, didn't check
