STOP FOR A MINUTE

Released on February 1st, 1988, “Stop for a Minute” is a special single by Sandra that was created specifically for the German TV crime series Tatort. Unlike her other releases, this track was not part of a studio album but was instead featured on the Tatort soundtrack. The song stands out in Sandra’s discography as it was directly tied to the show’s storyline, adding a unique narrative element to her body of work.

“Stop for a Minute” was produced by Michael Cretu. The song features a catchy, upbeat tempo typical of Sandra’s style but with a slightly different tone, fitting the dramatic context of the TV series.

The extended version on the 12-inch vinyl offered a longer, more immersive experience of the track, which was popular in the 1980s for club play.

“Stop for a Minute” became a notable entry in Sandra’s career, especially due to its association with Tatort, one of Germany’s longest-running and most beloved TV series. Although it was somewhat of a departure from her usual releases, the song was well-received and is remembered fondly by fans of both Sandra and the show.
