The King-Beats – demos recorded at Waldorf Studio, some with Nick Charles, 1966

Attention: the sound quality is rather bad!

There are a number of posts with THE KING-BEATS (see “older posts”). These here are rough demos recorded early 1966, when the band began heading for Soul music. The singer Nick Charles was not a real member of the band, but the King-Beats backed him on a 7” record (see “older posts”). The two novelty tracks at the end were band compositions and later released under the pseudonym Onkel Schorsch.
