Same procedure as every year...Another great leap backwards to the most exciting decade of a century that is history meanwhile. Funny how time slips away. Hey, you're listening to classical music right now! Admittedly Germany played 3rd division since Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, John Coltrane, Bo Diddley and Lennon/McCartney took over from Bach, Brahms, Haendel and Mozart. But the number of germaniacs active during the 60's was much larger than we naively expected when we started this project and now the undead ghost of Lord Ulli drove us back into the pow wow tent to evoke the 12th Pandaemonium and keep the spirit alive in the next millenium. Hard hitting, no-nonsense R&B bands on German stages weren't half as rare as you might think, but in those days we had more unicorns than independent studios in this country. If you were lucky enough to find one, you couldn't afford more than two hours with an engineer specialized in recording marching bands and yodlers. Sure, The Boots and The Monks had groundbreaking LPs on major labels, but - let's face it - they didn't sell, while novelty trash like "Balla Balla" and "Gloryland" made the charts. The most noble mission of company producers was to domesticate the rebellious youngster. Well that was the rule, but if there hadn't been exceptions, there wouldn't be no Prae-Kraut...
