Here's a xian oddity that you probably have never seen before. An ungooglabe gem from the late 60s or early 70s. Soundwise not at the head of it's time but the amateurish recording is making it even more charming. Except from the DIY charm this one has funky drums, wild organs, Galt McDermot compositions, Electric Prunes style chorusses and a cover version of Hey Joe and Udo's Peace Now. POW!

Year: 1979

Condition: NM/VG+  

As one would guess this is a Live Recording. It says Volume I, but after investigating heavily I can tell you that there's no Volume II. Probably due to a lack of commercial succes. The concert was given in a small spot called Gulfhaus in the middle of nowhere (Northern Germany). There's some deep blues and bluesrock tunes on the album and even some funky disco "op platt" by the ever-funny north german original Jan Willem.

And there's a non LP track by the Fusion-Combo Matter of Taste around Fritz & Kathrin Haug. This track is a beast of driving funky fusion... and seemingly only available on this compilation.

The top latin synth pop jam from their Olympia album on 7".

Axel Schulz aka John Buttermann aka Papertiger and the Cat Cammer Orchestra delivers some intense teutonic balearic vibes in Dein Mann Sucht Seine Frau (Your husband is looking for his wife). In this song a guy is trying to convince the lady of his heart to stay for the whole night instead or returning to her husband immediately after having a good time... an AWESOME LUSH & TROPICAL TUNE!!

Style: No Glasses

Year: 1982

Condition: VG+/VG+

Piet Klocke's first album. Including a lot of the usual uptempo NDW tunes, typical for the era. The record wouldn't have found it's way here if there weren't something special on the album. No. 1 is the hit here and it's VERY special. A touch of dub mixed with a blues feeling to warm our hearts. Lichter Der Stadt is and odd -6 NDW Disco jam with a great hook for german dancefloors.  And then there's Sie Bricht Mein Herz - another hit!

I had the dude on the phone when i was a teenager. He invited my little siters and her friends to a concert in town. They had interviewd him for the school student newspaper and prolly had an impact on him.... Forgive me that I never really liked  the dude ever since. But hey - sometimes people can surprise you. That Balearic Boogie banger produced by Giorgios right hand Harold Faltermeyer really kicks!
