Germany Calling
« on: May 15, 2006, 01:13:12 PM »
This week, a fascinating radioseries from 2002 will be repeated by BBC Radio Merseyside. The series contains eight episodes and are presented by Spencer Leigh. It's called 'Germany Calling' (no, it's not about Dirk. Sorry Kate, couldn't resist that..) and it will give an insight about the role of Hamburg in the Merseybeat-story. Germany Calling contains a lot of interviews with people who were present there and then.
Broadcasts start on May 21st from 14.00-15.00 hours (I think this is Western European Time, not sure) and can be listened to HERE. BBC Radio Merseyside is HERE
Check out Spencer's website for more details. There's a lot of good reading there as well: HERE

look bobber........(14) GOOD MORNING LITTLE SCHOOLGIRL (Demarais) - IAN AND THE ZODIACS (2.46) The Crosby group, Ian and the Zodiacs, cut this blues song in Germany but it comes out as straight Merseybeat. It was released in Germany, but not in the UK because the Yardbirds beat them to it. Notwithstanding Eric Clapton, this version is much better but, coming from Crosby myself, I'm probably biased.

Yeah, I read that too. Don't know the song, I'll have a look for it.
