Nena die Band is a best-of album by German pop group Nena,released in 1991. The first track,"Lass mich dein Pirat sein",is a remix. [1] The version of "99 Luftballons" here combines the original recording with a live recording.
The dot (period) at the end,which is usually not included in titles,is emphasized with red on the album's cover. Furthermore,on the official Nena website,unlike other releases in catalogue,this particular album is consistently referred to as “Nena –Die Band.” (note the period again).

Gabriele Susanne Kerner, better known by her stage name Nena, is a German singer who rose to international fame in 1983 as the lead vocalist of the band Nena with the Neue Deutsche Welle song "99 Luftballons". In that same year, the band re-recorded this song in English as "99 Red Balloons". Nena's re-recording of some of the band's old hit songs as a solo artist, produced by the co-composer of most of them, her former Nena band colleague and keyboard player Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, rekindled her solo career in 2002. Combined with the success of the Nena band years, she has sold over 25 million records, making her the most successful German pop singer in chart history.
