Episode 11
August 27th 1966 Radio Bremen
Taped at the Tiles Club, London
Sounds Inc. - Fingertips/My Little Red Book/Rinky Dink
Cliff Bennett and His Rebel Rousers - Hold On I'm Coming/Got To Get You Into My Life
The Moody Blues - Really Haven't Got the Time/Bye Bye Bird
Shapes and Sizes - A Little Lovely Something/I Want You To Like It
The Washington DCs - 32nd Floor

This one is especially interesting.
It is, reputedly, the turning point for this show.
The whole Beat Club crew up-sticks to invade England.
Previous attempts having proved fraught with difficulties.
Nice to see the early Moody Blues footage
but mostly one notices how much 'cooler' the Brits are
compared to the usual German audience.
This must have had an impact on young Germans when it was broadcast.
Even Uschi seems a little bowled-over.

Titus
p.s. The English host is a long-forgotten  total jerk
whereas Uschi went on to become a legend.
