Search - Various Artists :: Beat Im Norden - Smash ! Boom ! Bang !

These CDs are part of a comprehensive Bear Family series, Smash...! Boom...! Bang...!, dedicated to the mid-Sixties German Beat boom. At least 30 installments are planned, and each CD will contain between 20 and 30 titles, all re-mastered for the best possible sound quality. The featured artists run the gamut from popular groups to great unknowns. Despite the CD revolution, many of these songs are making their first appearance on CD, and some are making their very first appearance anywhere!There's a book, Shakin' All Over (published by High Castle), designed to accompany this series. The author, Hans Jürgen Klitsch, has written the hugely informative booklets for our CDs. It has been thirty-five years since the dawn of the Beat Boom in Germany. Relive that era in words and music!
