TOMMYKNOCKERS BEAT CLUB

It’s approaching 6 years since the passing of Werner Voran AKA “The Lolly Pope”.
Werner and his friend Ralf Van Daale started the blogspot Roots and Traces: Spurensicherung,

Although Werner’s specialty was collecting rare German beat records, he, in turn, had gathered enough
British Beat era records to put together a comp series he called “The Tommyknockers obscure music from the British Beat era”.
His posts spanned from the early to late sixties.
It’s more eclectic than the name sounds. There’s some Pop, Ballads, and Psych mixed around the R&B.
The series began in 2011 and ended up shortly until his passing in 2013. These files have been deleted and are long gone until now.

I asked and received permission from Ralf (who still runs the site) to repost the series over here.
There is a total of 23 comps in the series and each one of his posts contained a brief meticulous thumbnail describing the group and the song.
Thanks also to Philo[not me] who sorted all the files out to this great series and providing this information.

I’m posting a link to each original comp for anyone who would like to see the info it provides.

If you end up enjoying any of this please send a thank you over to Ralf.

Re: TOMMYKNOCKERS BEAT CLUB

Even though this is and musically too early for Wallace....good one Phil.

There is a lot to go thru here.
I don't expect much here to be even close to psych, but there are way-interesting early bands here:Artwoods,Span.....

Phil, it would really help if you could go thru and weed-out ,for your bestest fren, the too garagey, lovey-duvey tracks.

Re: TOMMYKNOCKERS BEAT CLUB

I have a cunning plan ...
as Baldrick says, but not involving turnips. Contact me for further details please Phil, BEFORE you put up any more volumes here for free.
Cheers.
Steve.
