Cherry Picks From The Good Ol' Days Vol 1

As there was tonight a Hardin & York show from 1972 on BBC6 Live Music Hour I had this sentimental "Ah, where have all the good times gone" (in that Kinks mood) feeling - so I had to take a look at my archives of german TV broadcasts from those days, especially of "Beat! Beat! Beat!" (16 CDs on disc) and the famous "Beatclub" (only 3 shows from the very early days missing), where all those bands played live that gave us then a sense of the days to come ...

So I selected some tracks I really appreciated in those gone days to share that sentimental mood with you and hope you enjoy them as well as I did.

formed by some GIs on service in Germany

03 Indian Ropeman (Beatclub 1969)
05 Road To Cairo  (Beatclub 1969)

UFO - Boogie For George (Beatclub 1970)

THIS! is UFO as I liked it with their first 3 records, the later

version as "The Scorpions Little Sister" may be more known but ...

hmmmm ... I prefer "Mark I" - as I prefer Mark I of Deep Purple, 

before the invented Rock with "Deep Purple In Rock" because (to me!) "Deep Purple III" from 1969 will always be my favourite record by the band.

Hope you enjoyed the ride ;)
