It would be nice to be able to get track listing on these from something other than back cover shots but i like the looks of these...can`t tell how much cross over there is with these and the Prae Kraut volumes

HUH? Click on the links below the covers and it will take you to the B.F. site where it shows the back covers with track listings

Yes i trust it, it`s just not the easiest thing to have to cross reference a blown up jpeg of the back of an album with soybomb or whatever. it would be nice if they added a printed track listing...as far as I`m concerned, not much to ask.

Ok in soybomb all the comps it`s on list it as paranoid but in the back of my head i sorta knew the lyrics matched up with "hund von baskerville". I should trust my instincts more....

the problem with the Ugly THings database is that it's unfortunatly not been updated since 2 years, when there's tons of comps that saw the light since then. I hope that Menachem kept track of all of them anyway and that he'll do a massive update shortly.

Good news anyhow with those Measles comps. Will be a nice addition to the great Prae Kraut Pandaemonium series, one among the few non-US and non-UK series dealing with 60s teen sounds that is really worth owning.
