Description
Now, more than 30 years after their original release, Bear Family presents the collected works of the first line-up of Frankfort-based Adam & Eve ...one of the most colourful Sixties pop duos. Adam & Eve, Words Of Love and Sweet Sweet Love were all German chart smashes in 1966/67. They were the work of Eva Bartova from what was then Czechoslovakia and John(nie) Christian Dee, a singer, composer, lyricist, producer, and instrumentalist whose life was even louder than his shirts. Johnnie Christian Dee claimed to be of Sioux descent ...just one of his tall tales!
This CD includes the couple's complete Bellaphon 45s with additional rare flip-sides only released in the UK and in the USA as well as all the tracks from their sole album, 'Paradise Of Sounds,' plus all the songs they issued as soloists. We've also included Eve Bartova's first single recorded under the name of Erika Bartova for the former East-German Amiga label, a John Christian Dee 45 from 1975 as well as his two rare Scandinavian singles from 1965, including a Bob Dylan cover version. PLUS! We have two songs composed by Adam & Eve but sung by Waldemar Wohlfahrt, a fixture of the German tabloids during the late '60s. And two unreleased songs and four sought-after tracks recorded for the small Cologne-based TELEdisc label by the second Adam & Eve line-up, sounding amazingly like the original recordings!
It's a rollercoaster ride... from pop, beat, German Schlager, oompah-oompah, folk rock, blue-eyed soul, even psychedelia. Adam & Eve were one of the era's most unpredictable duos!
