Yeah, sorry about that. I dropped a couple hints in my previous message
for the more careful readers, namely:
"I don't want to let the cat out of the _bag_" [added emphasis]
"np- James Brown: "Papa's Got a Brand New..." [missing word: "bag"]
Since either nobody has sussed the situation (or have and are keeping
quiet about it), I'll come right out and say it in plain English:
Ernst 9 is a record bag (or, in the words of Herr Brinkmann, "[the record
bag] is in fact ernst 9"). A rather voluminous one, with a giant orange
"Q" on an outside pouch and a little tag that reads "max.ernst". Its size
and thick, removable styrofoam lining may also make it suitable for
storing chilled beverages.
It is limited to 100 and sold out at the source (I did manage to get one
through a kind act from an acquaintance, so there might be some left in
distributor channels). There is apparently a "neutral" variation, sans
"Q" (I dunno about the tag) that was still available from A-Musik a couple
weeks ago.
