Rock Over Europe

Who wants some swingin' 50s-60s pop tunes from France, Germany, Italy, Norway....really, all across Europe? Answer: if you know what's good for you, YOU do. De Zwarte Moustachen, Brita Borg's Frankenstein Rock, Hawaiian War Chant from the Netherlands, and the loopy Chimpanzee Rock from the Hula Hawaiians (been looking for this one for a while!), it's ALL good. It's just been posted over at ManzeRock, get it while it's hot.
