Euro 45 Recommendations ?

[Matt Hero]

Can anybody recommend a few 45s (or even LPs) to add to my slightly narrow collection of 'euro-beat' ?

I've gradually picked up a few of the more obvious pieces ('Le Winston' - The Nilsmen', '00-43-GM ' - The Moody Sec, a few Duke of Burlington 45s) and am a bit short on the knowledge on where I should be looking for other stuff in this vein.

I'm not looking for trophy pieces, just good solid groovers. You can still say 'groovers' can't you ?

The dutch scene is wicked! I loved it at utrecht listening to all the kooky 45's.

Shocking blue are really good - famous for venus - but their lps are very very very good.

There is a guy called behindthedykes on ebay. He sells shit loads of hot stuff. He has sound samples on there too so you can easily note down the hot tracks. Ive got a massive list of euro beat things to find.

The belgium beat scene I know little about and the spanish even less. Theres time to learn though!

<span =''>That reminds me, are there any surprises (in a good way) in Ester And Abi Ofarim's recorded works? (Anyone brave enough to find out?).

IF I TELL YOU , I'LL HAVE TO KILL YA .
the five sermad mentioned are a good start , as for shocking blue?
it's a matter of taste i guess.
i don't have time now but i'll put a list up in a couple of day's
of stuff i've found since i have been living in holland ( fen refugee )
most of which is easy enough to find.

Cheers sermad, i'll have to check out that &quot;Case and the Pressure Group&quot; sounds intresting (if only for the name heh), couple more to add..

David Whitaker - Ce soir apres diner (im sure everyone knows), very cool looping drums + bass.

L'Etrangere ep by Romuald has a nice beaty jerk track on it, and is on the AZ label, which seems to have a few cool french soundtracky moments.

Sorry Sermad, it's actually Casey and the Pressure Group. Check out my last post on Soulstrut to see my latest Dutch finds that I found this weekend.

[sermad]

I'm sure someone called Sermad won one on ebay for abit more than four quid recently ?

If it's euro-mohawk action you want then there's a coupla little cuts on my new CD that MAY have you guy's scratching your heads....

[sermad]

I certainly didnt get one off ebay!! I always used to bid on them and if they got over a tenner I stopped.

nah naaaah.



Si - I saw you bidding on these recently....

Well, I'll cheerfully admit that I got my copy off eBay. €5 - a bargain as far as I'm concerned.

ill-hammond-orange-mohawks-drama-pants

as sold by record girl.

I paid £55 for my pair - so these look like a bargain so far. I wore them when I was doing my new mix CD and they worked a treat (especially when those toilet-break moments come by)





you cheeky monkey you...

There seems to loads of stuff out there: the Spanish scene is a bit frustrating, though, mainly because recording quality can be pretty rough. A couple of nice mod-ish things I've found have included Marisol (nice Dusty Springfieldish numbers like El Cochecito) &amp; Kuldip (a completely mad Pakistani singer doing 'Goldfinger' en espanol) but anything more than pence &amp; I feel very wary of taking the plunge after hearing too many ropey twists &amp; covers of Eurovision hits recorded using clay inscription tools on concrete....
