Fruits de Mer's club members brighten these dark times with a selection of their favourite songs from the era of peace, love, sun, beads and hippies; Till Wolff says peace & love isn't really his thing, but it hasn't stopped him coming up with an excellent selection of tracks (helped by his wife Karin!)

we'll start with some West Coast USA sounds from the sixties...


Now for four from the UK's troubadour...


more from the UK - from the idealistic to the rather more commercial to the eccentric...


I'll now hand over to Till to explain his final batch of contributions...

"To the continent - well, in my case just Germany ...
1) The Ones - I entered them already for FdM's 'once for the before they become famous singles competition' (Tangerine Dream!) - but since this one is 'Music For Hippies' it must qualify - actually just the first track
2 & 3) Always reliable with a rip-off version of whatever was in fashion - The Petards ... here in their flower-pop disguise with 'Golden Glass' and 'Misty Island'
4) What has the Hamburg Mafia to offer? Well, Wonderland made quite a few other 'hippie' singles (not only Moscow!) - this one was their most successful & bizarre and certainly 'happy' in a very German way... Boomerang...
5) Now a real treat (seriously ;)) : A one off hippie attempt with recorder & bizarre lyrics - The Cheats - That's My Day - very funny & over ambitious ... but certainly a classic ! Plus logically with some 'beer' thrown in plus girls & sun - so we Germans must be happy !
6) And if you ever wanted to know what the Hippie Soul sounds like - the Germans have (of course!) the answer...


Thank you, Till - see you next competition!

help spread the word!
