Beat Club was one of the most important and fun packed TV pop and rock shows of The Swinging Sixties.
Once
a month for seven frantic years, a cascade of stars were filmed for the
show and as it turned out, for posterity, Beat Club became a treasure
house of sounds and images that might have been lost forever.
It was a hit with viewers around the world, and the historic series has been repeated on TV many times in recent years. This
fantastic collection features historic live performances by the great
groups, who were guests on the show, often at the peak of their careers. Beat
Club was presented by Racdio Bremen, which ran the small TV station
based in the North West German port. The show was directed by Mike
Leckerbusch and was presented by the legendary Uschie Nerke.There were
unsually two guest British presenters.. First came BBC radio DJ Dave Lee
Travis. Later came Dave Dee, the ever cheerful lead singer with "Dave
Dee,, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich", one of the most popular acts of the
day.
Dave Dee: "It´s fastinating to hear these recordings again today, because many people didn´t even know they existed". Enjoy these rare tracke from the early days of progressive rock !

This is the first album by Bonnie Raitt. After
dropping out of college in 1969, she began playing on the US folk and
blues circuit, turning heads due to her ability - almost unique in a
white female - to play credible bottleneck guitar.
She became friendly
with many of the surviving blues legends, including Howlin' Wolf,
Mississippi Fred McDowell and particularly Sippie Wallace, with whom
she later recorded.
After paying her dues in clubs, she signed with a major record label
in 1971,when she released her eponymous debut album which included both
contemporary songs by Stephen Stills and Paul Siebel and a number of
blues covers, plus two selfpenned originals.
