Oddly enough for an LP, it was supposed to be played at 45 rpm, the speed intended for singles and which results in improved sound quality. This was not done with subsequent releases. This was followed by concerts in Switzerland and Austria. In August of 1981, Ideal played in front of 22,000 fans at the Berliner Waldbühne. This was broadcasted nationwide by SFB as part of Rocknacht. Sender Freies Berlin (SFB was the ARD public radio and television service for West Berlin from 1 June 1954 until 1990 and for

Konrad "Conny" Plank (frequently spelled Planck) ( May 3, 1940 in Germany – December 18, 1987 in Cologne At the same time, Ideal's debut album went gold, and marked the first time an album released on an independent record label went gold.

Ideal performed 27 sold-out concerts during their 1981/1982 tour through German-speaking countries. By their final concert on the tour, they had received another gold record, this time for "Der Ernst des Lebens. "

Our music was always a result of the clashing of four different personalities, not of compromise, but of creating songs that all enjoyed. In three terrific years, we have gotten the best out of this constellation. "

June of 1985 saw the release of "Zugabe" (Encore), a live album of "remembrance, farewells, and gratitude for all the fans".
