Eurotwang CD

Eurotwang CD

34 twangy guitar instros exhumed from Europe’s deepest vaults!
Guitar Instrumentals became hugely popular in the US and the UK in the late 1950s, following the arrival of Rock 'n' Roll, and Europe was quick to follow suit, most notably Scandinavia.
It all cranked up a couple of notches following The Shadows’ success with Apache in 1960, and by the following year Europe was awash with Shads’ clones.
This collection presents the sound of Instro Europe, predominantly during 1961 and '62, from seven different countries, with an emphasis on Scandinavia and Denmark.
Few of these discs were issued in the UK at the time, a noble exception being The Spotnicks, from Sweden, who of course enjoyed success here.
Yet these records sound every bit as good as those recorded by their UK counterpoints.
If you’ve never heard much Eurotwang before, this is the place to start... you’re sure to love The Jumping Jewels, Die Playboys, Les Fantômes, The Cliffters and other great bands featured here.
