SMASH...! BOOM...! BANG...! Beat In Germany
Beat music from 1962 to 1966 in any language appeals to me. These CD's are part of a comprehensive Bear Family series titled , Smash...! Boom...! Bang...!, dedicated to the mid-Sixties German Beat boom. Every CD has much to offer full of competent and enjoyable rock & roll workouts, mixing American covers and band originals, numerous copies were undoubtedly worn out in clubs and homes throughout Germany.
I love that when you have all the CD's the spines of the covers/booklets join together to create a wonderful picture of a young crowd in a frenzy. This is a beautiful set. A must have.
I will post 30 CD's over the next few weeks. Each CD contains between 20 and 30 titles, all re-mastered for the best possible sound quality. The featured artists run the gamut from popular groups to great unknowns, many of these songs are making their first appearance on CD and some are making their very first appearance anywhere!

Good Monday morning, TZ!! Today's R&B classic is the truly obscure Mabel Scott, who sang with Jimmy Lunceford and Wynonie Harris before committing herself to pure gospel music. The Kitsch Korner brings you my last Web album and some Meco soundtrack disco realness.

Many thanks for the New Sell Out link (and the req for Spek). Predictably (because I'm so eager to hear it), Mediafire isn't playing nice with me right now, but I'll hang in there while I'm waiting for the electrician or someone just like him.

Hi All,

@ Dave from Sheffield,(7 APRIL 2019 AT 01:30) regarding
the DC re-cons.Bill & myself have never tried to fool
anyone into thinking they were "all @ 320 good clean songs"
as you put it.
If you look at the text document it says,
"Best Available tracks", That means, out what we have or
can access or given when requested, we can't find better.
Admitted the "Blackpools" were posted unchecked as to
offer something because the numericals were not ready. The
ALC's started like this until wonton,mfarka,Burney started
the "fine tooth comb" and done a brilliant job at it.
This is where i hoped these would have finished up.
Your quote," if your going to share music you
have to do it right". So, obviously 320 is the norm and
sadly Bill & myself cannot compete at the same level,
so pretty pointless carrying on so will call it a day.
Just like to say thanks to those who posted tracks at
my request.
Pedro, thanks for your help & trying.
Moose, thanks for the artwork.
Big thanks to smegga for his knowledge, help & input.
smegga, Bill & i have tried to e-mail you but i think
you've blocked them.I will e-mail you this morning
with my number, please give me a call any day between
12.00 & 13.00
cheers,ELtel

Thanks for all your hard work Eltel its a shame some ones comments have scuppered any more of this great series..Some folk dont realise you cant always get 320 or flac especially with rare tracks..
My words to those who want everything 320/flac and tagged dont dl these guys put in a lot of hours and dedication just for some folk to moan about it not being '320'
@geriatrix & Dave Dedrick . - in case it wasn't seen in yesterday's posts. Thank you for helping me with Comes With A Smile. I appreciate the help.
Here's an album that was released on vinyl in 1970, saw a digital re-release in 2013, and is tough to find:
Stevie Wonder: Live at the Talk of the Town
If someone has it in 320k or FLAC (and not ripped from the official Universal youtube channel), and is willing to post it, I - and maybe others as well? - would be very grateful and happy!
- Chrisz
@montysmusic
Cd 2 would be much appreciated. TIA
Thanks JWDen for all the 'Blues & Rhythm Series Classics' you are sharing at the moment
Regards
Good Day all, PLease, I am looking for VA - Where Southern Soul Began Vol. 3 ~ 1957-1963 (2015) I had a folder for it and the first 2 volumes, but it is empty. I tried looking back here but to no avail. I am guessing it may be back to far. Any help is appreciated.
BITRATES
@Dave from Sheffield & @ELtel, talking about bitrates and
"fake" 320 mp3 etc. I try to explain more about it. I did
in the past some research to this subject with the
software "Spek" an acoustic spectrum analyser. I HIGHLY
recommend this software as also did @George Leroy Tirebiter
yesterday (See for software http://spek.cc). If we talking
about mp3s there different qualities from low for exemple
128 to the highest quality 320. This means that for 128
the sound tone cuts off at 16Khz, for 192 at 18Khz & 320
at 20Khz.
Nowadays we get our music mostly from internet like sales
sites, blogs and of course Youtube. But now I want to talk
about Youtube. There are people downloading from Youtube
from special sites who's give you the possibility to
download at 320. I found also a website you can download
different mp3 quality like 128,192,256,320. So I download
a 128 & 320 mp3 from the same youtube video from that
website and check both with Spek. Result: same diagram
cut off at 16Khz!! Conclusion: No difference sound
quality between both mp3s --> 128 = 320. I checked also
more of this kind of sites for downloading youtube files
with the same results. That means to me that when people
downloading at 320 from this sites, they create a "fake" 320.
I never download my Youtube files from that kind of
websites, I just use my own software. With this software
you have the possibility to download the files to VBR, 128,
320 and even Flac, WAV & M4a! But there's another button
with says "MP3 Original Quality" And with that button you
get the real mp3 quality. I downloaded a lot of youtube
videos via this button and they are all 128!
Final conclusion: Websites are fooling visiters and do believe
you're downloading a real 320 quality, but you get a "fake"
320 mp3 which is equal to 128. So the sound quality of youtube
videos are 128.
Now I wonder if a part of the ALC serie is downloading in this
way?
I'd be grateful if someone could share:
Virgin Front Line Presents Dub; and
Virgin Front Line Presents Roots
These were shared on another blog recently but both d/ls are missing tracks.
Cheers
ELtel thanks for the kind words i think it's more constructive we all get along i will attempt again can't promise that i will not cock it up but with some guidance from Burney Redding/Big gray which will be a great help

Good evening. I normally log on to TZ about 10:00 PM Aust Eastern Standard time, which is when the posts start. Tonight however, under the Video on the home page, it reads, ' No posts' I clicked on the icon out of boredom form waiting, and found there were about 11 posts already. Don't know why this has happened and thought I would bring it to your attention.
@dancing cats crew
I know this "dave" ,he isn't from Sheffield at all.he had a blog called the harlem shuffle
that went tits up for what ever reason.he is a bitter man who upset a lot of soul folk all over the place and he owes money also,to me for one.i can kiss that goodbye.
so ignore him guys and keep on with your thing..if smegga is still in say hi from steve the mod,we go way back..
keep soulin
Steve..
ELtel, Bill and the Dancin Cat gang, I'm going to get real selfish here, something I am not prone to do. I'm going to ask you to respectfully ignore Dave From Sheffield. I am 72 years old. I love this music. I'm in the back of the checkout line. I want to hear it before I check out. I'm a vinyl guy. Some of my vinyl sounds and looks like the NHL skated on it. I don't care. I get to hear this rare and great music. At my age, I simply do not care about 120 or 320 or FLAC. I just want to hear this stuff that you and Bill and your buddies are so graciously putting up. I don't care if it's on one of those old cereal box plastic 45's from childhood. If Dave from Sheffield plans on doing what Burney, Wonton, Farkas and Smegga do and to redo the whole series, then that's great and thanks to him. And if Dave doesn't plan on doing that, just ignore the Dancin Cats. Don't listen to it. Don't ruin things for the rest of us. But in the meantime, please continue to do what you have been doing. I've been waiting to hear the Dancin' Cats for a long time. It's in my car, my MP3 for my walks and lying on the beach. Kindly reconsider your decision. Most of the visitors to TZ feel as I do.
I will echo what so many have already said - the Dancin' Cat Crew has made me purr with joy with every share - don't let one sour puss get you down. The hard work and effort you all have put in on these and the ALC series has been monumental - thank you all!
Steve
@ Bill & Eltel,
Your work is very much appreciated, I for one would rather have the complete collection in any bit rate rather than part of a collection at good bit rates, tracks can always be replaced at a later date if they become available. You are doing a great job, don't leave Smegga to carry on alone.
Moose
Yes! Smash, Boom, Bang! Original Beat Music from Germany. Thank you! Very good.
Many greatings!Hanst from Holland. Real Beat!
Some thanks are due (and overdue!) to a few folks:
As mentioned in another comment - all the ALC and Dancin' Kitties crew deserve a Nobel Prize or some sort...
Butterboy - Thanks for the German Beat set and for carrying on with the monumental HVK series. I look forward to that every Sunday..
JWDen - Thank you for the R&B series posts...really enjoying them, especially the lesser known artists like today's Mabel Scott.
montymusic - thanks for today's Grip Weeds, and for the wonderfully eclectic mix you provide on a daily basis.
Clash and Searnav - you two have been here posting since, well, as far as I can remember, forever. Thanks for your daily shares and keep up the great work.
Lastly, thanks to RYP and Gyro. If it weren't for you two, this musical haven (and heaven!) wouldn't exist.
Anyone out there able to post anything by Linda Ronstadt's post-Stone Poney's band Swmpwater?
Psyclist - Many many thanks for the David Blue from
Tom and Shanghai Lil. Terrific LP scans as well.

-----------------------------------------------------
i have a few points i`d like to address ....
1) this project is for appreciators (silent or spoken), not the naysayers, bitchers nor whiners. it`s also for people who listen to music the way it`s intended to be ... with ears, not visualizations.
2) i`ve been quite forward about the source material coming from multiple sources across the web (that includes youtube sometimes) and not always being legit 320kbs. every single song gets tinkered with to some degree in audacity and my output is set to 320kbs. that said, the first step in re-building this series is finding the best quality file to work with. in most cases that has been FLAC/wav/mp3 @320kbs however about 25% has been sourced from a formats lesser than 320kbs for sure. our goal is to present this series with complete, correct tracks free of surface noise, clicks and heavy distortion (common with vinyl rips) and this is how one does it with limited knowledge and resources. being 320kbs (legit or otherwise) is simply a by-product and not a selling point. take it or leave it!
3) the tinkering as mentioned above takes time and i'm now only able to spare enough to pump out one a day so will be slowing down posting as we move forward, likely posting only once every few days. bear with me believers!
4) a thought to leave you all with ... you ever notice that it's only those who won't, don't or can't that tell others how something should be done? doers are simply too busy doing.
love and happiness,
wonton
Eltel,Bill,Smegga,BR etc.
Please don't be put off by one negative comment by a non-contributing visitor to TZ.
You are all doing an excellent job of bringing these soul collections to us all here at TZ. I for one greatly appreciate the work you are doing, and would be sorry to see you stop uploading more music.
You can only provide the copy of a track which is available to you. No-one has every song in the world in Flac - it's so unrealistic to expect perfection.
Ignore the bit-rate snobs. We should do everything @ 64 - then that would give them something to really moan about.

This will be my last "Blue Rose"-post for a while and I'm sorry but it may be only of interest for those who understand german.
The Original Blue Rose Radio Show was first aired 21.September 2015 on rockradio.de and was released as a limited edition 3CD mailorder-only with the original show on cd 1+2 and a third cd extra produced for this set.
Blue Rose founder and owner Edgar Heckmann talks about the beginnings, the artists and the music of his label with 19 songs thrown in here and there.
The problem is that the songs aren't separated so you have to play fast-forward if you want to listen to the songs only.
A huge thanks goes to RYP and Gyro for making all this possible.
A big thank you goes to Butterboy for encouraging words now and then.
Thanks also to every ownloader->the label deserves a wider audience.
I have almost every Blue Rose-cd of the first ten years.
So if you want to hear a special record feel free to ask and i will rip it as soon as possible.
There were some issues about BRC Vol. 10. The cd 2 with Steve Wynn is correct as you can see in the info file.

I thank you for Vol. 3 of where southern soul began and for letting me know that there was a vol. 3
By The way i also relalized that i had vol. 1 but neither vol. 2 and 3
So could any of you gently and kindly post vol. 2
I would really appreciate and be thhankful.
Thanks

For everyone piling on "Dave," is it really that much to ask that the files have accurate representation of quality? I don't think anyone is attacking those who put so much time and soul into recreating these compilations. It's a wonderful labour of love. But it's helpful to know what the quality of a file is. I just don't see what's so controversial about that.
I have a lot of music, and much of my time on blogs like this one is spent upgrading old files that were ripped in the early years - either at low bitrate or with poor equipment. It's just helpful to have accurate information. Sound quality directly affects enjoyment of the music. It's not an insignificant factor.
Thanks, Bill and ELtel. Very thoughtful. You guys made my day. I'm well aware that you two, especially Bill, went through this before with the ALC's. But look at what it lead too- an amazing cooperative effort by all kinds of total strangers. Have a great rest of the week.
@ wontonymousoup & everybody,
Exporting a repaired audio track from a lower bitrate source @ 320kbps makes good technical sense: MP3 is a "lossy" format, and every time an MP3 file gets edited and re-compressed, some resolution gets lost, more so the lower the bitrate of the exported copy. Saving all edited MP3s @ 320k is the right thing to do.
To estimate the original bitrate of an edited MP3, I load it in Audacity and look at the file's acoustic spectrum a.k.a. historgram; a little experimenting with files at different bitrates will show where the cutoff point at the right (high frequency) end of the scale falls for MP3s at various levels of compression.

I don't really say a lot on here , but I think the guys doing these reconstructions like ALC , Dancing Cats , Warped etc are doing a labour of love , giving up their precious time and resources and it shows that community spirit isn't dead here , been amazing to watch the hard work going into this !!
Northern Soul and the like aren't really my thing , but i am truly amazed at the co - operation shown to the highest degree.
And as they say , if you have nothing positive to say or contribute "JOG ON " !!!
Regards , Tiny.

As a follow-on to JWDen's share of Mabel Scott, here's her followup:
Blues & Rhythm Series Classics #5107 Mabel Scott (1951-55)
https://we.tl/t-Wn4827sjBY
(link's good till April 15)
NB: the sixteen MP3 tracks are at 192 KBpS, the only rip I've got in my Vault. If anyone has one at 320, I'd love to have it myself. Anybody - ?
Cheers!
And @JWDen: thank you for Mabel, and the imperial disco... cheers!
Does anyone have albums by B.W. Stevenson they could share here? Thanks!
ELtel, Bill and the Dancin Cat gang, Please allow me to add my support to the outpouring. Sometimes criticism is proof of your doing something right and worthwhile. Having just now looked at the sheer size of the project, I can well understand why you were disappointed. I think whats happening with the Dancing Cats and the ACL fine toothcomb reconstructions makes this blog a unique and very special place. Its a privilege just to be an observer.
Keep on Keeping on!

@JWDen
I think you have posted the RBS link twice omitting the 'Web - I Spider' link as a result
To all who post goodies on here thanks for your sterling efforts and basically I find it hard to believe that amongst those of us who have battered our ears with rock music way too loud for way too many decades, there are many who can truly discern the difference between files of differing bit rates especially through standard electronic media equipment. Direct Cut Decca vinyl on a Techniks deck with Bose speakers it aint'.
As for rare tracks, back in the day a member of the original Opal Butterfly line-up (they went on to become Mott the Hoople) had his own web-site and posted on there 128kb copies of the bands original output. It was only 10-12 songs IIRC. Now some tracks from their singles have found their way on to compilations with higher bit rates but to my knowledge some that he posted have never surfaced anywhere else and the only electronic versions available are those 128kb files. If I can find them I will dig them out and post them and if a certain South Yorkshireman doesn't like it he's just going to have to lump it.
The simple reality is that we should be grateful for the efforts of all those on here who spend what is considerable time trying to reconstitute and upgrade 'lost' compilations whatever bit rate they serve them up at. I'm sure if they had the resources to do so they would always deliver them in FLAC format but unfortunately people just don't have those resources.
Now where did I put my hearing aid........ ;-)
The discussion about bitrates repeats for the umpteenth time! It seems that Anonymous in particular is stubbornly interested in this overflowing discussion! I think JWDen is right by asking, "Now where did I put my hearing aid ........ ;-)"
Is it about the quality of my ear canals or the soul of music? I keep saying it: I was 17 years old, so I had fresh ears when the music from the pirates Radio Caroline or London (on medium wave!!!) broke out of my transistor radio. That blew me away!
Good music blows me away til today, no matter how much bitrate!
I am not a lover of technology but a music lover!
@Charlie Ramone
Whilst this may be your last "Blue Rose" post Charlie you need to know that every post you make is valuable to someone. I for one am grateful for your care and attention to the BR series of discs you gave to us and offering some rare mail order only material. You deserve any positive comment I can give you. Thanks again all you did to bring the Blue Rose collects to our ears.
I look forward to your next posts. Cheers.
Steve, aren.t' you smegga..! you write lik.e him,. same mis.use of full stop.s..h,a. ha...
I'm well over dancing cats like I was ALC, it's anal I believe, but as I said before well done for doing it all and a lot of people seem to get pleasure out of it, well I'm assuming that.
The mere fact that one has to check the spectrum (using Audacity or other software) or to look at what their player says to verify the bitrate proves that the difference can't be heard by human ears in most cases. More, people over 50 demanding or asking for flac or lossless is laughable as they can't hear the treble notes anyway. It's all audiophile snobbery to me.
Dear Charlie
Thank you for your effort in letting us know one of the best "Americana" records label in the world.
I'm a fan of that label and, as I knew the label late, I was not familiar with all of its first albums.
I have been looking for these records for a long time in case you had them and you could make them known. These are groups that deserved greater recognition.
Thanks again for your effort and I wish you the best for the future.
A big hug from Spain.

sham,
I agree "audiophile snobbery" that's the right word...
I support all the archive efforts. ALC, Dancin' Cat & others here, Any Major Soul, Power Pop Criminals and Dan's Garage blog comps, Fuzzy Daddy's gems, mailing list ones like My Kinda Music, and especially the Lost Jukebox completion (personally involved with that one), etc, etc.
As for Spek, I steadfastly use it to assure whatever I offer up to others is what I say it is, no more no less. And to clean up my own collection. Extremely highly recommended.
Tho if the choice is listening to a lowfi, scratched copy of a song worshipped as a youth (and hadn't heard since), or waiting for the no-longer-existing pitch perfect hi-fi recording likely tossed into a dumpster 3 years later when the studio closed, well......you know the answer to that. Heh.
Pop rules!!!

Charlie Ramone,
Thank you for the the Blue Rose Collection, I very much appreciate your efforts with that project. Because of your generous efforts I have from Volume 1 to 72 in the collection, and I am trying to clean space off of my current HD to shoe-horn it in. Music is a great thing.
Thank you again, and thanks to all the contributors here on TZ.

@RYP - I'm certainly no "audiophile snob." I still listen to favourite songs I only have on poor 128 quality from 15 years ago. But If I have a choice between good quality and bad quality, I'll take good quality every time. (And great if possible)
