DAVE BARTHOLOMEW "The Classic New Orleans R&B; Band Sound" (The Best Of ‘53-’62)
Here’s some incredible New Orleans R&B by one of the all-time most important bandleaders / producers of the era. His own stuff was also great- here we have an excellent sampler, from the really wild & greasy “The Monkey”, the raw “Shout Sister Shout” and “Another Mule”! Don’t miss out on this one, you’ll be looking for more of his stuff after you hear this! (Gyro1966)
Dave Bartholomew is the multi-talented figure behind a majority of classic New Orleans R&B of the '50s and the self-proclaimed inventor of the "Big Beat." Bartholomew has over 4000 songs in his enormous catalog and is responsible for arranging and producing timeless records by Shirley & Lee, Lloyd Price, Smiley Lewis, and especially Fats Domino. Bartholomew was born in Edgard, LA, on December 24, 1920. His first instruments were tuba and trumpet. He fronted several bands in the Crescent City before being drafted into the army. His military time brought scoring and arranging experience which came in handy following World War II. After his stint in the service, Bartholomew returned to New Orleans and put together a group of musicians that would comprise the bedrock of R&B in the city, including saxophonists Alvin "Red" Tyler, Lee Allen, and drummer Earl Palmer. This became the band that backed up the majority of solo talent traveling through New Orleans. Bartholomew led his first studio session under his own name in 1947 for Deluxe, but the label went out of business shortly thereafter and the sessions went unnoticed. In 1949, Bartholomew met Lew Chudd who was forming a new label, Imperial Records. Chudd hired Bartholomew as house arranger, bandleader, and talent scout, and he immediately started cranking out numerous hits through the '50s for Fats Domino, Shirley & Lee, Smiley Lewis, Earl King, Chris Kenner, Tommy Ridgely, Frankie Ford, Robert Parker, and a host of others. Bartholomew stayed with Imperial until the hits dried up in the mid-'60s, followed by short stays at Trumpet, Mercury, and his own Broadmoor label. (by Al Campbell - All Music Guide)

THE MOD FUN "Past... Forward" 1995
Although they toured the US three times (out to California and back), the Mod Fun became mostly well known as the only mod-pop band based in the NYC garage revival of the early / mid -'80s (until the x-cellent and MF inspired Secret Service appeared)...
... Other modish bands started to pop-up near the end of Mod Fun's near residence at The Dive (aka "Cavestomp Central"); but none seemed to even get the chance to quite immerse themselves in that scene and genre in the way MF did as The Dive sadly closed down at it's height of popularity. After The Dive closed, a gig with the amazing NY act The Vipers at the legendary Peppermint Lounge was soon followed by a few sold-out headlining shows at Maxwells.
The CD collection "Past Forward" released by GET HIP in 1995 was reissued in 2004 and it encompasses most of their 80's recorded output including some UK-only tracks that first appeared on Hi Lo Records LP "American Heart and Soul" and were remixed in '95 for their debut on cd. Also included on the 20-track collection is unreleased material produced by legendary rock scribe Jim DeRogatis and many vinyl-only tracks from Mod Fun's three 7-inchers & two 12-inchers released back in the day. Cover versions include tracks by The Zombies, The Kinks and The Syn, although singer-songwriter Mick London also had quite a knack for making his original material "strangely reminiscent" of many popular Mod/Psyche-pop Anthems.

Screaming Lord Sutch "Rock & Horror" 1982
SUTCH A SCREEEEEAM! A who's who of the UK rockin' scene from the 60s back up Sutch on this ghoulish goulash of hair raising monster rockers, like 'Screem, Screem', 'Murder In The Graveyard', 'Loonabilly' and the inevitable 'Jack The Ripper'. His Lordship lets loose on these early 80s recordings in his own genteel style.
He couldn't properly be considered part of the British Invasion -- he never had a hit in the U.S. or the U.K. -- but Screaming Lord Sutch laid some unheralded groundwork for the phenomenon. With a rock & horror act based to a large degree on Screamin' Jay Hawkins, David "Lord" Sutch was one of the first genuine rock & roll longhairs, and his bands employed such sterling instrumentalists as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Nicky Hopkins, and Mitch Mitchell before they became famous. His early-'60s singles -- mostly over-the-top Halloween novelties or covers of early rock and R&B standards -- are genuinely energetic and fun performances that rank among the few out-and-out raunchy rock & roll records waxed in Britain before the ascension of the Beatles. Twiddling the knobs on his first five singles was the legendarily eccentric Joe Meek, who embellished Sutch's modest talents with his usual grab bag of treated instruments, compression, and odd effects. While he holds a position of undeniable importance in the history of British rock, Sutch was not a talented singer or musician, and the records he made after the mid-'60s were pretty lame despite the presence of some stars who remembered him fondly (and had even sometimes played in his band in the old days). A well-known public figure in Britain, he ran for Parliament several times in the '60s, representing the National Teenage Party, and he founded the pirate radio station Radio Sutch in 1964. He published his autobiography in the early '90s. — Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

The Buff Medways "This Is This" 2001
Billy Childish's side project du jour is amazingly good. I picked up this disc recently as one of those Never Heard 'Em, What The Hey purchases. Threw it in the player last night and was extremely happy with the purchase. If I had to classify this in a genre, I would put it into the junk rock / garage rock arena. Lots of crunchy, jangly guitars, hard hitting drums, and no frills vocals. This is a refreshing shout out to pre - overproduced music a la The Kinks and old Stones. In fact,... I kept thinking that this disc was a re-release of a 60's junk rock band. Highly recommended. - By Scott Balikian (Seattle, WA United States)
Billy Childish has been releasing lo-fi garage rock in a myriad of contexts for decades. His latest joint, the Buff Medways, is a little more lighthearted than some of his other bands such as Thee Headcoats. The two albums I've heard by the Buffs seem to pay tribute to rockers of yesteryear. This Is This uses Hendrix as it's inspiration. Several of the tracks are virtual rewrites of Hendrix tunes. However, Billy is no mere copyist and each track is firmly stamped with the sound we've come to associate with The Milkshakes / Headcoats/etc. A recommended album for those of you who like the garage rock sound but have found Billy's previous releases to be a bit samey. - By whoopycat (Des Moines, IA United States)

"Bayou Rockabilly Cats" 2000 - VA
a slab of primaeval 1950s rockabilly from the Goldband label archives...
Louisiana's Goldband label is perhaps best known for its Cajun and R&B recordings, but also did record a good deal of hillbilly and rockabilly sides in the '50s. Twenty-six of them are on Bayou Rockabilly Cats, although when the most recognizable artists on a compilation are Al Ferrier, Hopeless Homer, and Goldband chief Eddie Shuler himself (with Eddie Shuler's All Star Reveliers), you know this is one for the specialists. Actually, much of this is not quite standard rockabilly, but country music in the process of making the transition to rockabilly. There are fiddles and steel guitars on plenty of the cuts, and the tempos are often more in the country boogie or two-step mold than they are in rock & roll. Truth be known, that makes this more interesting than many such compilations of obscure rockabilly (such as numerous ones on the Ace label itself), as the country-rockabilly bridge hasn't been documented and investigated with nearly as much depth as some other roots-of-rock genres have. (There are, for instance, appreciably more reissues of late-'40s - early-'50s R&B and jump blues on the cusp of turning into rock & roll.) In general the performers on this disc had more of a Southern swamp to their lilt, as well as some traces of Cajun rhythms (although those aren't that prevalent). There aren't major overlooked classic songs or amazing performers, but the style's done with a lot of panache and good-natured energy. It's not all hillbilly-rockabilly crossover either; some of the sides are just flat-out raw rockabilly, and Bee Arnold does piano-based work with more of an R&B flavor (even using a clarinet on "Plant You Know, Dig You Later"). Arnold's 1954 single "Way Down Under Blues," in fact, is pretty unusual for the time, and one of the earlier instances anywhere of a white musician recording in a hardcore R&B style that approached rock & roll. When Goldband records were reissued after the '50s, there were electric bass overdubs that Shuler was persuaded to use to make them sound more contemporary-sounding, to the vexation of collectors and historians that rightly prefer the originals. Those listeners will be glad to hear that this CD consists solely of the unoverdubbed original versions, marking in fact the first time the original singles have ever been reissued (although eight of the selections are not from vintage '50s 45s, but from '80s releases that contained previously unissued '50s performances). ~ Richie Unterberger

Louisiana's Goldband label is perhaps best known for its Cajun and R&B recordings, but also did record a good deal of hillbilly and rockabilly sides in the '50s. Twenty-six of them are on Bayou Rockabilly Cats, although when the most recognizable artists on a compilation are Al Ferrier, Hopeless Homer, and Goldband chief Eddie Shuler himself (with Eddie Shuler's All Star Reveliers), you know this is one for the specialists. Actually, much of this is not quite standard rockabilly, but country music in the process of making the transition to rockabilly. There are fiddles and steel guitars on plenty of the cuts, and the tempos are often more in the country boogie or two-step mold than they are in rock & roll. Truth be known, that makes this more interesting than many such compilations of obscure rockabilly (such as numerous ones on the Ace label itself), as the country-rockabilly bridge hasn't been documented and investigated with nearly as much depth as some other roots-of-rock genres have. (There are, for instance, appreciably more reissues of late-'40s - early-'50s R&B and jump blues on the cusp of turning into rock & roll.) In general the performers on this disc had more of a Southern swamp to their lilt, as well as some traces of Cajun rhythms (although those aren't that prevalent). There aren't major overlooked classic songs or amazing performers, but the style's done with a lot of panache and good-natured energy.

Nixon Now & Lo-Lite "Nixon Now vs. Lo-Lite - ¡Hecho Totalmente a Mano!" 2000 - split 7"/EP
Nixon Now is Hamburg's very own motor city gang! This split EP has two non lp tracks and the first fifty copies come in a beautiful handmade wooden box. "If anyone could equal the MC5 and Stooges at their insane best, it's Nixon Now" - Kevin Mc Hugh
Lo-Lite spits swamp gas for some five years now. During these years they sweated and stank on a lot of stages in and outside Holland . This Dutch two-man band, excelling in an original mix of raw stompin' blues and a high-octane punky rock tops the cream of the crap. A slithering slideguitar, some maniac vocals and pounding drums make a surprisingly heavy live sound. Lo-Lite absolutely hasn't the tinny sound one might expect from such a small band. Though bare boned primitive, the songs carefully evade quite some silly rock 'n roll cliché's, we're not talking copycats here, but the real HOW-HOW-HOW-HOW boogie chillin' thing.

The Intercontinental Playboys "Sonic Seducers" 2005
SEDUCTIVE SOUNDS: SYDNEY'S INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYBOYS LAY DOWN THAT VOODOO GARAGE PSYCH BEAT!
There's a lot of competition but this might just be one of the best Australian releases of 2005, certainly in the (self-imposed) sub category of Voodoo Psych Garage. Think multi-layered fuzz guitar entwined around chunky organ chords and you're in the neighbourhood. As good as their debut EP "Ladies May We Introduce Ourselves" was, "Sonic Seducers" is a quantum advance with the songs sounding more rounded, and the band much more in control.
Given their past penchant for live Cramps covers and their reconfiguration as a bass-less four-piece (with Michelangelo now full-time on the keys), the comparisons to the institution that is Lux and Ivy and a revolving cast of supporting players are almost inevitable. But imposing that label would be lazy. Sure, they're mining common ground (although the Playboys mention the Barracudas and Stooges in the same breath), but one of the strengths of the Cramps in their glory days was their ability to nod to precursors while simultaneously applying colours from their own palette. The Playboys do the same, sounding sassy, smart and rocking in the same breath.
Where the Cramps are intent on getting fucked up (or fucking) in as many ways as possible and telling everybody about it, these enigmatic Sydney gents are more demure. Men of the world they may be, but they're still wrestling with the usual problems of relationships ("Baby Hang Up"), how to have a good time ("Downright Right Down", "The Bedroom Analyst") and what to wear when doing so.
The songs are so great here, it's hard to know where to start. The opener "Voodoo Delight" puts the fuzz credentials firmly on the table while "The Erotic Circus of Torment", "Death Row Tango" and "Journey to the Centre of My Dirty Mind" all manage to make their point without bludgeoning or putting the pedal to the figurative metal. Seductive stuff.
Considerable effort's gone into making "Sonic Seducers" sound just right and to this end, guitarist Benedict has woven a heady sonic fabric with all manner of fuzztones embedded into the stitching. His guitar stylings are outstanding and as distinctive a feature as Tommi's idiosyncratic vocals. The keyboard basslines are thick enough to stir a martini on and amply fill the bottom end, allaying fears of bass-less wimpishness. This is an album that resounds with a rock sensibility in all but its slinkiest moments.
Tougher than its predecessor but at the same time more sweeping in its ambitions, "Sonic Seducers" is on the money. Not many bands doing this stuff as well. Hopefully, this will be the catalyst to get the Playboys overseas. - The Barman

THE HITMEN "LIVE AT STUDIO 221 2JJJ RADIO BROADCASTING AUSTRALIA" 1981
The Hitmen were brash, bombastic and inventive. They were also victims of their status as the first in a long line of Australian underground bands of the late ‘70s to cross the battlelines and take their rock and roll campaign to the suburbs. The Hitmen peddled a broad mix of metallic pop, flamethrower Detroit rock and re-vamped ‘60s standards, as well as their own wide range of originals. With their roots in the ground breaking Radio Birdman, the Hitmen sought overground success and clearly influenced dozens of bands that followed in their wake.That their status as one of the Australia’s hardest-working bands never translated to huge record sales probably came down to the fact that the major labels that courted, and signed the band had no idea what to do with them. But the thousands of fans whose ears they opened to new sounds did - and voted with their feet by packing venues the length and breadth of Australia.

"WE’RE GONNA BOOGIE" - Raw 60’s Downtown Blues 1962 VA
This was put into my hands by someone who very likely knew what distaste I have for most electric guitar blues, but who knew that I'd be healed by its power & glory in no time. And the man was right! "We're Gonna Boogie" is about two steps to the left of being legitimate, so best of luck trying to find it on the web, though these guys made some noise about having it in stock. It kicks off in grandiloquent, ass-kicking style with the two meatiest tracks on here, screamers by LEFTY DIZZ ("We're Gonna Boogie") and JOHN LITTLE JOHN (yes, "Shake Your Money Maker", but believe you me when I tell you it's as wild and raw as anything you'll hear this year). Just acres of guitar and distorted squall on both. You can hear at least part of the LEFTY DIZZ track here. Whomever selected the tracks did so with an eye to the uglier and deep-underground side of modern blues, the sort favored by fans of the Fat Possum label in recent years. High marks go to ditties by MODEL T. SLIM and WILLIE WILLIAMS ("Wine Head Woman"). (Agony Shorthand)

1. We're gonna boogie - Lefty Dizz 2. Shake your money maker - John Little John 3. The sun is rising - Poor Bob 4. Only sixteen - West Virginia Slim 5. Dust my broom - Richard Riggins 6.

"GET YOUR LIE STRAIGHT" A Galaxy Of Funky Soul - VA
An absolute funky monster! This set lays out an incredible batch of funk era singles from the vaults of Galaxy Records -- and it shakes and burns all the way through, with lost funk bombs Bobby Rush, Rodger Collins, Bill Coday, Bobby Eaton, the Debonairs and others! It's comprised of mostly obscure 45s representing the stone funkiest records ever released by the Oakland-based Galaxy label -- which was at this point sort of serving as the farm club for big brother label Fantasy Records. This one's essential, kids -- just as worthy of your funk-loving dollar as the legendary rare funk compilations on Jazzman, Soul Fire or Stones Throw! 22 tracks in all: "Foxy Girls In Oakland", "Get Your Lie Straight", "Chicken Heads" by Bobby Rush, "Bring It On Up" by Loleatta Holloway, "I Love Her Too" by Lenny Williams, "People Say" by JJ Malone, "Try The Life" by Everyday People, "Man Power" (previously unreleased) by Ben & Larry, "My Money Is Funny" by the Right Kind, "The Iron Horse" by Merl Saunders & Heavy Turbulence, "I Get What I Want" by the Sequins and lots more! - © 1996-2008, Dusty Groove America, Inc."Get Your Lie Straight – A Galaxy Of Funky Soul" anthologises the red-hottest grooves that Fantasy’s R&B; subsidiary Galaxy issued in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Galaxy naturally focused on the bluesy, earthier style of soul popular in that region, a sound exemplified by the local smash ‘Foxy Girls In Oakland’ by Rodger Collins, a record that regularly graces turntables world-wide to this day. "Get Your Lie Straight" features for the first time on CD some of Collins’ other funk outings like ‘I’m Leaving This Place’. Other local acts on Galaxy were vocalist Lenny Williams, later to find fame with Tower Of Power, and blues singers JJ Malone and Tiny Powell, both of whose funky waxings for the label are represented here, along with instrumental grooves from Merl Saunders and The Right Kind, and obscure nuggets from further notables like The Debonaires and Loleatta Holloway The vast majority of "Get Your Lie Straight" has never been on CD, or at least not in the unsurpassed quality arrived at after major research in the Fantasy tape vault. - (Amazon)

SUNNYBOYS "SHAKIN' LIVE AUGUST 1991" 1991 + "First EP" 1981
Live release by australian Power-Pop heroes, comes with additional free 4-Track CDsingle!
Sydney band The Sunnyboys remain one of the most highly regarded and best-loved bands of the Australian 'post-punk' era. Fronted by the enigmatic and youthful singer/songwriter guitarist Jeremy Oxley, the band breathed some freshness and vitality into the Sydney music scene in the early 80s.
Essentially The Sunnyboys wore their influences on their sleeve; The Remains, The Flamin' Groovies, The Kinks and The Beatles with a dash of Detroit muscle thrown in for good measure. They produced melodic power pop classics and were rewarded with an immediate positive response.

"N.Y. WILD GUITARS" 1992 VA
Fantastic CD of hot guitarists from the Fire/ Fury/ Enjoy labels. Mighty Joe Young gets the distortion started with Why Baby/ Empty Arms; he is one of the best of the many muscular fretters here. The biggest name is Tarheel Slim, whose #9 Train/ Wildcat Tamer are prime cuts of tough NYC blues. But the wildest by far was Wild Jimmy Spruill, who livens up Wilbert Harrison's Kansas City as well as 6 of his own guitar-wrecking instrumentals including Hard Grind and Cut And Dried (all previously reissued on Krazy Kat LP 7429, as I recall). There are a few mediocre tracks mixed in, but rare sides by the Charles Lucas Combo, B. Brown (possibly Spruill here), Billy Lewis, and Hal Paige & The Whalers make this a must for fans of vintage fret-melting technique. 20 selections. (MB) (Roots ‘n Rhythm)

"BEAT JAZZ" Pictures From The Gone World - VA
25 Cool BEAT-JAZZ tracks from the 50s/60s.
This is one beautiful collection of beat music, spoken word and crazed goofballed lyrics. Way out there selections of many unknown beat artists at their most primitive level spewing forth underground sounds and styles of a bygone era. No Zane or kitch here but straight ahead songs that ooze the beat feel! This is a fantastic selection of music. For me its the beat of this genre...
Very out-of-print and rare compilation of beat jazz, burned off the original vinyl (1000 copies), on Pesky Serpent Records (PS 1001). Came out in the mid-1990s. Might have been reissued a few years back on very limited CD but not sure... (From Sanity Is Over-Rated Blog)

Wild Billy Childish "Crimes against music blues recordings 1986-99" 1999
Here's billy's essence caught on two slabs of vinyl (or cd if you HAVE to go that way). Very raw, simplistic (in the most loving way) heartfelt music that spans most of his career. A few too many repeats from the "I've got everything indeed" lp (half of it is included), but for those not acquainted with Mr. Childish a great palce to start. quite a deal at 10 and change! - By Brian Newbury (bethlehem, pa United States)
As it says here, "All of these recordings were made in Mister Childish's kitchen and bathroom on a G36 Revox half-track tape recorder", hence the extremely lo-fi approach. This is Billy Childish at his most raw and unpolished, solo, straight to tape, no messing. Most of these tracks were released previously but many of the original records are now impossible to find for anything less than silly money, so this is a most useful round-up.
trax:
01 I've Got Everything Indeed 02 Strange Words 03 I Love That Girl Ammonia 04 Get Out Of Here Pretty Girl 05 The Greatest Lover In The World 06 Coming Upside Your Head 07 Mister Elisabeth 08 I Remember 09 Why Don't You Try My Love? 10 Burn And Blind Me 11 Not Many Of My Kind 12 This Whole Wide World 13 Grinning In Your Face 14 Yellow Skin Baby 15 Bourgeois Blues 16 Cosmetic Woman 17 Troubled Times 18 I Love My Woman 19 Bottle Up And Go 20 John Hardy 21 The Ballad Of Hollis Brown 22 Cowboys Are Square 23 I Feel So Bad 24 I'm Hurting 25 Iodine In My Coffee 26 Cold Chills 27 Crimes Of The Future

Wild Billy Childish "The 1982 Cassetes" 1987
During the Caesars' lifespan, Childish began churning out solo and side projects, working in a variety of collaborations and under an assortment of assumed names. I've Got Everything Indeed and i remember offer his idiosyncratic take on the blues; The 1982 Cassetes consists of even-more-ragged-than-usual early recordings. Poems of Laughter and Violence is a venomous spoken-word effort whose you-are-there ambience is a large part of its appeal. The dodgy 50 Albums Great is a retrospective of sorts, with raw solo remakes of several items from previous releases.traxfromwax:
01 Oh Maudie 02 Col' Col' Chillen 03 When I Got No One 04 I Hate My Little Baby 05 Dog End Of A Dog End 06 Tennessee Blues 07 Amonia '81 08 Monkey Bissniss 09 Lets Make It 10 Guillotine Device 11 Todays Menu 12 A Matter Of Timing 13 Evil Snake Catcher 14 I'm Home grown 15 Little Queenie

Lee Rogers "Sock Some Love Power To Me" [Soul-Tay-Shus Recordings]
Lee Rogers (1939-1990) is a soul singer from Detroit who never strayed far from his gospel roots. Soul-Tay-Shus Records (part of Tuff City Records) has re-released 14 of his tracks that were originally released on 45s.
The majority of his career is covered in this compilation. The earliest tracks ‘64-’66 were released on D-Town records. Later releases (’66-’69) came out on Wheelsville and Premium Stuff. On the back of this release I indicated the labels, date, and which side the track was on as best I could find out.
Proud of his roots as a gospel singer, Mr. Rogers said in an interview that the only difference between the singing he did in church and the singing he does on his records is that he wears a more expensive suit when he sings on his records.
These songs have a much rougher production than the tracks of a certain other Detroit-based label, and the sound is much more authentic as a result. On some of the D-Town singles, the instrumentals were recorded ahead of time and when Mr. Rogers would come in from touring he would record the vocal tracks separately. The instrumental track would be played over the loud speakers (no headphones in Detroit?), which would bleed through the mic as he sang. It gives these tracks a muddy sound, particularly noticeable at the end of You’re the Cream of the Crop (A4). These tracks clearly weren’t recorded with posterity in mind.
The highest charting single here is I Want You To Have Everything, which hit #16 in Jan ‘65 on the R&B chart. This is the slickest track on the album. I prefer the more raw sounding Love For A Love (A3) and How Are You Fixed For Love (B1) and in particular the horns on ‘I’m A Practical Guy (A1). All tracks are short; the longest one is 3:02. – Hunter Gatherer

1. i'm a practical guy 2. i want you to have everything 3. love for a love 4. you're the cream of the crop 5. jack the playboy 6. the same things that make you laugh (make you cry) 7. love & war 8. how are you fixed for love 9. sock some love power to me 10. you won't have to wait 'til xmas 11. our love is more 12. my one and only 13. go-go girl 14. boss love

LES TERRIBLES "Les Terribles" 2005
Wild French garage w/female vocals!
If i ever own a bar, it's gonna be called "The Purple Pussycat" and at least half the jukebox is gonna be songs sung in French, unless i open up the bar in France, in which case the only song on the jukebox is going to be that German drinking song "Norbert, Norbert, Oi Oi Oi," for obvious reasons. I mean, who wants stock the juke with trite, over-hashed chestnuts such as "I Can Only Give You Everything" and "All Day and All of the Night" sung in plain ol' English, when, with the judicious application of a little Les Terribles, one can stock it with just-hashed-enough French language versions of the same (to say nothing of "Rosbeef Attack," which has no language at all, save the universal linguii of both ROCK and MEAT)?? Be-wigged French beatsters, take note! Follow in the Beatle-booted footsteps of Les Terribles, and let French be your lingua franca! I mean, the math is THERE, people, the math is THERE! BEST SONG: "Debby Merci" BEST SONG TITLE: "Rosbeef Attack" FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: I met Iwan. –Rev. Norb (Dionysus)
trax:
1. C'est Fini 2. Yeah Yeah 3. Ne Le Déçois Pas 4. Sauvages Et Candides 5. Pourquoi Je Pleure? 6. Chante 7. Rosbeef Attack 8. La Nuit Le Jour 9. Tout Est Fini 10. Tes Yeux 11. Tu Perds Ton Temps 12. Trop Sage 13. Debbie Merci 14. Froggies Strike Back!
