The Gloomy Moon / Singers The Gloomys - 45'
From Jancy
The Gloomy Moon Singers (1962-1967) were the house band at Berlin`s Riverboat Club. In 1964 they came in second in a battle of the bands at the Star Club, losing the first prize to the more stylish Lords. They recorded one more 45 for the Telefunken label before changing to simply The Gloomys, and more of a pop direction. The most famous band member of The Gloomy Moon Singers was Frank Zander, a German Pop singer who had many hits, singing novelty songs in his gruff trade-mark voice.
The song Zieht euch warm an ( dress warmly) is an advice to all teenage lovers making out at night in the parks and also a threat by the mothers and the fathers ( like prepare yourself: the trouble that your in for, once you get home) with a great trebly guitar sound…

Bo Street Runnerт + Soul Agents - I Just Want
Formed in 1964 in Harrow, Middlesex, England, the Bo Street Runners initially comprised John Dominic (vocals), Gary Thomas (lead guitar), Royston Fry (keyboards), Dave Cameron (bass) and Nigel Hutchinson (drums). Within months of forming they recorded a self-financed EP that was sold at Harrow's Railway Hotel, where the group held a residency. When Cameron's mother sent a copy of the disc to the producers of ATV's Ready, Steady, Go!, the Bo Street Runners were added to the list of competitors in the show's talent contest, "Ready, Steady, Win!". The group won, securing a prized contract with Decca Records. "Bo Street Runner" duly became their debut single, but despite the publicity, it failed to chart. Glyn Thomas and Tim Hinkley then replaced Hutchinson and Fry, while Dave Quincy was added on saxophone. Two singles for Columbia Records ensued, "Tell Me What You're Gonna Do" and "Baby Never Say Goodbye", the latter of which lost out to the original version by Unit Four Plus Two. Thomas was then replaced by Mick Fleetwood, and with Quincy departing for Chris Farlowe, the reshaped Bo Street Runners released a version of the Beatles' "Drive My Car" in January 1966. Fleetwood was then replaced in turn by Alan Turner and Barrie Wilson, and when Dominic opted to manage the group, Mike Patto joined as vocalist. The Bo Street Runners disbanded late in 1966, after which Patto recorded a solo single, "Can't Stop Talkin' 'Bout My Baby". The b-side, "Love", represented the final Bo Street Runners recording. Patto was reunited with Hinkley in the Chicago Line Blues Band, before joining Timebox, who in turn evolved into Patto.Not to be confused with the American band of the same name.
Known mostly for the brief presence of a young Mick Fleetwood as a member, the Bo Street Runners were one of many London-area R&B-based rock bands during the British Invasion. Though they didn't come close to a hit, they did manage to release about an album's worth of material between 1964-1966 on four singles for Decca and Columbia, and a rare limited-edition EP. While their sound was fairly derivative and unremarkable compared to the top R&B-leaning British Invasion bands, much of their limited output was at least respectable, with a couple above-average songs that will be of interest to British Invasion collectors.The Bo Street Runners got on the map with a residency at the Railway Hotel, the same venue at which the early Who...
