"Fourth and final part in the little CD series on 'true rock & roll in Germany' on Bear Family Records. Nico Feuerbach has put his heart and soul into compiling this edition full of quirky, rare and once well-known recordings from the 1950s and '60s. Including, among others, the Rattles, Conny Quick, the Liverpool Beats, Dieter Kersten, Peter Reese & The Pages, and and and... Extensively narrated by Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber in the included comprehensive booklet, accompanied by many photos and illustrations. Carefully remastered from the best possible sources and nobly packaged in Digipak. Bear Family Records proudly presents another breathtaking compilation of German Rock & Roll from the '50s and early '60s. The balancing act between the Northern Band sound of Conny Quick's 'Rock Baby Rock,' which sounds like Conny singing in the shower to the swing program on his tube radio, and the raw beer cellar sound of the famed Rattles with 'Shimmy Shimmy,' succeeds effortlessly. The compilation delivers unusual gems like the Liverpool Beats' cover of Jimmy Reed's 'Let's Get Together,' a bold copy of the Marcels' 'Blue Moon,' and 'Kiss Me' by Dieter Kersten and his Rockin' Stars. Their garage teen rockabilly is reminiscent of early Johnny Powers. Peter Reese and the Pages deliver a cosmic Silver Surfer sound yet call their instrumental modestly Pages Rhythm. The country-esque "Die Farbe der Liebe" by jazz virtuoso Paul Kuhn is a late-hour bar shuffle for the Wirtschaftswundermann."
