From the outskirts of Duesseldorf, they reincarnated as The Toten Hosen (Rotting Rabbits) after a decade of serious experimenting with mind expanding substances (i.e. peas).

The Dragons: were K. Krus, B. & R. Lohmann and K. Timmermann from Bonn or Cologne. Their remarkable mini-opera was released in 1969 on Opp, and this one carries a message, friends and neighbours! That's what ambition can do for you. Wonder what ever else they might have chosen to write about. No other records known, so far. A real pity. We'd love to hear their great lost double album. The Beats - well never trust a crew with a wicked name like that. Listen and you'll know why we had to include this cover of a rather tame Troggs song. Look at the picture of these blokes. Yes Sir, that's what the sixties were like in Germany. (And by the way, doesn't the big one show a suspicious similarity to our much beloved Mr. Bundeskanzler?) A flexi in an expensive picture sleeve. That sounds a lot like Helmut... |
