A la Carte (Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A la Carte is the fourth album to be released by Austrian band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung (EAV) in 1984.
A la Carte is quite a well known French expression (meaning according to the card) which is used worldwide. The album cover is a satirical take on this as is shows a green pig's head, wearing headphones and eating a vinyl disc.
