RIP Werner Voran aka The Lolly Pope
the saddest news I can think of, my friend the Lolly Pope aka Werner Voran died 2 weeks ago from heartattack! I just talked to his girlfriend, still can't believe it but it's true. I never met Werner but we were like brothers and changed mails nearly every day. From the very first time I read the liner notes for PraeKrautPandaemonium, I loved his unique humor, and we shared precisely the same taste with music. I felt very proud when he asked me to do an "uncomped of Electrick Loosers"-sampler for which he sent me MCs from his archive*. I will miss him a lot, and the community of 60s- Garage music has lost one of the leading experts of German and British Beat and a generous master to look up to. I know many of you, just as myself, were waiting on the next volumes of his extraordinary "Beat Wunderbar / Tommknockers" -series (http://spurensicherung.blogspot.it) which now sadly ends at Vol 23. He has given me so many precious hours of Joy. Condolences go out to his friend Patti and his buddy Ralph Siemers. RIP Werner.
* in memory and honour of Werner I've reupped both samplers: http://www67.zippyshare.com/v/45053360/file.html (vol. 5) http://www29.zippyshare.com/v/41885048/file.html (vol. 6)

UC159 - Moans from the Grave
Hello out there, this is your friendly undertaker once again. We don’t need Halloween to unleash the creeps, do we? So get a new load of monsters of all unkind, a few of’em appeared on some lesser known compilation but if you’re not exactly a doo-whop-fiend you might appreciate to encounter them in this here goulish gathering. Exceptionally, some rose from their tombs in the late 50s (and a few in the early 70s) but wait until you hear Mark IV moaning from Dante's Inferno! So, like Fred Fingers Lee says, let me take you for a spin, I’ll bury you deep and cheap!

UC158 – French Cuts
Back in France again, not only Paris but also Marseille, Rhône-Alpes, Mulhouse, Allier, and the Normandie-Region. In the 60s, mostly all French artits recorded “Extended Plays” (7”-EPs) with 4 songs and usually these came with glossy 4c-picture-sleeves. My fave track (maybe because my grandson‘s name?) is from singer Orlando, his version may sound a little lame at the start but soon you get aware he actually succeeds in turning the original Jagger-Richards-rant into kind of a “chanson”. And wait for the first drum-break. Astonishing. Don’t mind the Frenglish, neither the groups do, but enjoy a unique, often hilarious approach to Beat and Psychedelia. Mystery track is “Je n'ai pas su dire non"; youtube-channel “lesdemsoul bramhs” tags it as "Gale Garnett" who actually did record a song with the same title in France, but this can’t be her (unless she didn’t undergo a sex-change-surgery …). Any info is welcome. Thanks to the very fine site http://mixagesobsoletes.free.fr and to all bloggers and youtubers named in the booklet. Amusez-vous et profitez du spectacle!

UC157 - US Garage Gems, Pt. 16
Time to go back to the serious stuff…get a load of Garage-Gems from the USofA, some wild some mild, all never been compiled before (as far as I’m aware). Indeed, it’s marvelous that after nearly 50 years (really?) even some acetates continue to come up and if you only dig deep enough you will still find a lot of gold in the mines. Which is the famous g45 forum, 60sgaragebands.com, my friend’s Darren Brennessel’s archive, and heaps of dedicated youtubers and bloggers (all named in the booklet attached). Don’t be too harsh about the audio-quality, never use headphones, set your set to midrange (and to mono!), and turn up the volume! More US-gems in the can, stand by!

UC156 – Girls with a Beat, part 6
And here’s the third part of the series which actually is the 6th; to celebrate the girl groups and the female singers of the 60s, I have re-upped parts 1 http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/76375440/file.html , 2 http://www70.zippyshare.com/v/86899823/file.html and 3 http://www2.zippyshare.com/v/16203883/file.html . I hope you did enjoy the show although I can see that after 90 or more girlie tracks one might feel kinda pussywhipped….. So for now, let’s take Renate Kern’s advice, stop the beat, the party’s over, and don’t make noise on the stairs….

UC155 – Girls with a Beat, part 5
Hot on the heels of number one, here’s the second sequel of my favorite beat-yé yé-mod-and soul ladies. A true double shindig, I’d hope, with 31 (mostly) uncomped beauties in alphabetical order. I’m still baffled about the stereo-sound of Linda Wilson’s La dee da….Number 3 coming soon, enjoy the party!

UC154 – Girls with a Beat, part 4
For much too long I left the Girls behind, so here’s the first of three volumes dedicated to Ladies with a Beat! From Finland to Japan, from Turkey to New Zealand, from Germany to Mexico, in a time-warp from 63 to 74, I have selected girl groups and female voices that (mostly) didn’t make it to the official compilations. Strangely, the strict alphabetical order doesn’t spoil the overall-listening-fun I guess, most probably it’s that unique girlie touch which keeps it all together …? Once more, this selection proves that girls and brass fit greatly and you’ll get many a sounds with a strong beat and an urge to invade the dancing-floor. I’ll unleash volumes II and III in a few days, until then, I hope you’ll dig the first charge. Thanks to all bloggers and youtubers mentioned in the booklet, with special greetings to Graham Welch of the extraordinary http://www.readysteadygirls.eu and my pal, his highness the Lolly Pope from Roots and Traces http://spurensicherung.blogspot.it/ who kindly sent me some rare uncomped beauties.

UC153 – South African Beats
To start the new year, let’s take a SAA-ticket (first class, of course) and fly to Johannesburg and Durban in the 60s. You might have heard a good deal of the 28 tacks collected here, specially on the BeatinRock (or is that RockinBeat?)-series. I selected the ones that are missing on the few “official” SA-samplers (skipping the instrumentals) and I think we’ll get a most delightful menu with a few pretty rare dishes, such as the marvelous platter by the Fives (no info) and the awesome version of I’m Crying by the Secrets which can absolutely cope even with the Animals’ treatment I reckon. No liner-notes this time, I was too lazy. Hope you’ll dig this collection nevertheless. If not, drop me a line. Enjoy!
