Marlene Dietrich in Deutschland

Marlene Dietrich in Deutschland, also issued as Mythos Marlene Dietrich, is a compilation album by German-American actress and singer Marlene Dietrich, released in 1976 by EMI. The record brings together material originally recorded in the 1960s and was later re-released in several countries with variations in title, cover artwork, and track listings.

The compilation combines two of Dietrich’s earlier albums and offers an overview of a later stage of her musical career, marked both by the continuation of her classic repertoire and by the inclusion of songs from more contemporary styles. The album was distributed in different European markets, appearing in editions with distinct cover designs and through a variety of distribution strategies, including record clubs and special catalog series.

Over the years, Mythos Marlene Dietrich has been reissued in multiple formats, including LP, cassette tape and compact disc (CD), in both complete and abridged editions. The album received generally favorable reviews and was nominated for the Deutscher Schallplattenpreis in 1979, in the Historical Recordings: Entertainment category.
