Amsterdam Beatclub: the Best Place to Go!Go!
The Beatclub celebrates it's 10th anniversary with the release of this double disc set featuring artists who I assume have all performed there. The types of music here includes surf instrumental, ska, swing, blues, rockabilly, garage, psych, power pop and jazz, among others. Favorite tracks: "Ford Mustang Blues" by Ricky & The Koters, "The Best Place to Go! Go!" by Julia P. & ABC All Stars (they're the only band with two tracks so maybe they're the house band) and "Elle n'aime qu'elle-meme" by Sheetah et les Weissmüller. The most veteran artist on the album is the Crazy World of Arthur Brown (didn't know they were still performing) and Brown now sounds uncannily similar to Tom Waits.
