-Auschwitz War Wunderbar! (Gezonde Boerse Copulaties,‎ GBC 015), C60, 1984. Erik Vloeberghs comment: ”The Parts was not really a group. Danny Devos (DDV) and Annemie Van Kerckhoven 'AMVK) used my lyrics specially written for the occasion and performed them by themselves and I added solo synth titles which were added to the tape. The Parts never really played together. Later, DDV and AMVK kept performing some of my titles, sometimes together wirth for instance Mauro Pawlowski.”

Unconfirmed if GBC 16 was the last tape to be issued on GBC. The reason for starting Gezonde Boerse Copulaties was explained in Force Mental and has to do with creating a channel for mainly Flemish artists to publish their experimental works on tape. In consequence there were tapes by several artists and not only Angst, as opposed to his former label (except for a comp-tape).
