SREBURNITE GRIVNI, Na-Na-Hey-Hey, 1970

Sreburnite Grivni (The Siver Bracelets) were a popular Bulgarian Beat 
group. Here they cover Na-Na-Hey-Hey, the 1970 hit song by the German prog-rockers Jeronimo, in Bulgarian. The other song is a instumental. It´s probably common knowledge, but I don´t know the song.
Interestingly on the B-side there are two songs by the Beatles, Come Together and Something, most probably bootlegged by the state-owned Bulgarian label Balkanton.
Actually I should have posted some better Bulgarian tracks by Sreburnite Grivni or Shturzite (the Crickets), or even the whole The Best Beat Bands from Sofia LP Compilation, because I have that one. But this is my little East-European summer week so maybe some other time. A while back I posted a nice Bulgarian Rock´n´Roll instrumental by Studio 5 here.
Meanwhile enjoy the summer in Sofia…

No sleeve and no info on this one. Oh, Sweet Mary, Oh is a nice Pop/Beat song influenced by the Beatles. Manfred Gerold is no Bernhard Frank but I really like the song. It even has a sweet little guitar break…

Just like on the GASAG record the songs on this one are not credited to any real artists or groups. The producers of this record didn`t even bother to give the songs proper titles but only called them: Blues, Beat, Dixie and Sputnik Fly is now simply called Hot.
Also hidden on this picture-disc, advertising for the United Silk-Weaving Mills of Krefeld, is a solid instrumental version of My Bonnie wrongly titled Beat. Unlike last weeks version this one, played by a mystery Beat-group, is good. It starts just like the Beatles version but then goes into a stormy Shadows-style Rock`n`Roll instrumental…
About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
