The Beathovens - The Summer Sun
Triola Records 45, 1966
This moody pop gem was included on the first volume of Diggin' For Gold, one of our favorite compilation LPs. It also appears on the Searchin For Shakes compilation and the Stora Popboken 3 disc set of Swedish pop music, but we've never seen a copy of the latter. Anyhoo, enjoy this extremely moody bit of beat music. The lyrics are curious; oddly phrased but effective in the manner of some of the Dutch bands who used English as a second language.

Yeah, must second Jon's trumpeting of "Digging For Gold." That first volume can go toe to toe with "Nuggets" any day. I was lucky enough to find Vol I & II on CD years later, though I cherish the pink vinyl original as well.

Wow. What an incredible Ray Davies ca. 1964 imitation.
