More B - yewteeful works of art

Hear there's a long overdue vinyl addition to the center-piece in the works.

Dont have Prae Kraut Vol.10 to check the liners, but with the Chatels about the only sleeve missing on the comp sleeve, maybe the compilers didnt even have the record. Which again would make Schwäbisch Gmünd less likely as the sleuthing Prae-Kraut guys are from that area, too and certainly left not stone unturned.

Here's what the insert to "Lost Illusions Vol.1" has on them:

Schwäbisch Gmünd seems to be correct

 

[pfft]

Hmmm, unlabeled?

And of course I understand that it was not Mikael who wrote this. Perhaps the Prae Kraut krowd didn't have an actual copy for the comp?

I suspect they just meant that there is no label name on the label.

As far as I can make out the lyrics for Children it's not about the wall . I've never seen any evidence ( newspaper clips etc. ) that the Chatles were from Berlin . The MP article says Chatles/Schwäbisch Gmünd ( a town near Stuttgart in the south ) , the record was pressed by a company in Diepholz , which is pretty far north , close to Osnabrück . I'm surprised that nobody has turned up more info on them !

Here are some great YouTube videos with lots of cool pictures and even a full line-up at the end of the first one:

More from Germany

More from Germany

Isn't the 45 by The Bad Boys (UK band) an Italian release?

 

[bosshoss]

Oops, yes it is Mr. Pfft, thank you. Therefore I have photoshopped a replacement certified German Rattles in its place.

 

[Rythmn Boy]

Here are all the Dara Puspita 45s I have, including their later releases as Tikki, Takki Suzi & Lies. I don't know how to stitch together jpegs, so I'll just give them altogether first, which unfortunately is fairly low resolution.

 

[Rythmn Boy]

Here's the first one at better resolution on Irama, EPLN2

 

[Rythmn Boy]

This one has tracks from their first LP. I always thought this was a pirate but the same label has some legitimate looking releases as well.

Orchid, OERP101

 

[Rythmn Boy]

OREP102. Has one of the same tracks as OREP101. And has a drawing of a male drummer for an all-female band. Very odd

 

[Rythmn Boy]

This EP has songs from their second LP. One of them is titled 'Rudy' and is said to be about Ruud de Wolff, one of The Blue Diamonds (Mark showed one of their records in his Spanish collection). Bintang, BT107

 

[Rythmn Boy]

From their third LP. SEAN, SIEP1003

 

[Rythmn Boy]

Irama, EPLN11. This has tracks from their 'A Go Go' 10 inch LP. This came in a picture sleeve (same as the LP), but my copy has a different one added by a previous owner. I decided to keep it because it looked sort of cool

 

[Rythmn Boy]

When they recorded their first single in Europe they changed their name to Tikki, Takki, Suzy and Lies. This is their first English release on UPC. UPC102.

 

[Rythmn Boy]

Second single. UPC109

 

[Rythmn Boy]

The second single was released in the Netherlands on CBS. S154

 

[Rythmn Boy]

In Spain, CBS released the A-sides of the two UPC singles as 5158
