Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector. (adapted from Walter Benjamin's essay on collecting)

That was the last good album by Doldinger. Never released on CD (and neither was Blues Happening). I have the 2 LPs but they sure show their age. I also like Doldinger's version of Scarborough Fair on this album.
I guess Ingfried Hoffmann on piano and his sidemen back then made it all happen. I don't think any of Doldinger's Passport stuff lived up to these recordings.

Hi Otto,
Gotta say I agree with you 100%. I think I'll repost this LP and my standout track as it is up there in my top 10.
Cheers

Thanks for the re-post of this Doldinger album. As a bonus there happens to be a link to Saragossa from his '68 Album Blues Happening. Here it is:

OMG. Doldinger The Ambassador!
This is another key track from my wants list. We must have listened to the same radio stations, gone to the same clubs in our younger days

Hey Chris,
Where did you hang out, clubs etc and what era, radio stations etc. London by the looks of the postcode, so probably same as me.
