Matadors Get Down From the Tree cd

With their salacious organ sound (so good the instrument was called 'The Matador' and they named the band after it) this Prague freakbeat band slammed out fuzzed-up R&B every bit as surly as the hippest Animals records. Audaciously dark freakouts like 'Extraction' were borne of playing covers they learned off Radio Luxembourg- phonetically no less, as nobody in the band spoke English. They toured around to Belgium & Germany, and when the tanks rolled into their hometown in '68, they decided to take up a gig as the backing band for a German version of 'Hair' for a couple of years. Everything they ever recorded, even though it's titled slightly differently than the World Psychedelia cd.
