"GOT THE GO!!!" - Vol 2

A great volume in the series of compilations dedicated to the dance. A record perfect for parties! Obscure French jerk, unknown Spanish boogaloo, groovy southern soul and killer garage tunes compiled for your dancing pleasure.
Strange series of bizarre and motley collection of exotic 'delights'. Is this the type of thing they play in kitsch gallic nightclubs?
Volume one has the B side of a 1967 Dave Clark Five single, a sexist Gloria cash-in garage punk novelty (actually, it's quite funny... ONCE!!!!), various foreign language pop efforts and a couple of other big names thrown into the pot for good measure (Tom Jones and Perez Parado). Another highlight on this one is a sung version by Antoine of Hot Butter's Popcorn.... ridiculous, but stratospherically great.
I used to buy this type of compilation on sight... just because...I forget why now... oh yeah, they looked fun. This one is fairly fun.
The others in the series are up there too. Volume two has Brenton Wood's cover of The Count Five's Psychotic Reaction... they were both on the same label [Double Shot] - so maybe it's actually the Five themselves backing Mr Wood on his sterling version).
Volume three pursues a similar furrow with another weird selection of non-hits, '60s swinging euro-pop, MOR shakers, strange covers and crazy novelties including Les Mersey's T'En Fais Pas Jacques ...a French language cover of Ray Charles' Hit The Road Jack. I always link these comps with the Mello Jello and University of Vice albums that came out around the same time. Have you heard the news? There's bad rockin' tonight. - Bradx
