Thanks to Frost Records, Hit’n’Beat, and Sonet, the Pigtråd-scene has been widely covered, so this set is meant to be some kind of “The best of…”–compilation with tracks selected from anthologies dedicated to the most famous Pigtråd-groups (plus a few rarities). I have tried to avoid too many cover-versions and the often quite lame commercial stuff, so hopefully here’s a solid Beat-set with 28 tracks from 1964 to 1966, more or less in chronological order. Don’t miss the pretty wild sounds laid down by the Lions, les Rivals and - who would have thought - the Hitmakers (Pink Dally Rue!), the moody middle section from tracks 5 to 8, and Sir Henry’s nice treatment of "Don't send me no flowers”. You can find exhaustive info on all Pigtråd-groups at http://www.dk-rock.dk ; it’s only in Danish (Google-translator works quite well, tho’) but shows a complete gallery of the picture-covers (many of them available in the 12 pg-booklet attached). Hope you’ll have fun in Denmark!
