Super rare French EP of this swiss band. It was released in February 1966 upon winning an international beat band battle that was held on 4 - 6 of February 1966, at the famous Golf Drouot in Paris, France. It long rates as one of the rarest and most sought after French 60s EPs. Definitely a must have for the collectors of the best and rarest transworld 60s beat, punk, garage records.
At this time The Dynamites line-up was Rolf Antener (lead guitar), Robert Sulzer (organ, vocals), Robert Wittner (lead vocals), Pit Schaeffer (drums) and Peter Rietmann (bass). The band was formed by Wittner in 1958, under the name of Little Robin Band (adopted from the Bobby Day song, “Rockin’ Robin”). Then they changed to The Red Dynamites (after the Cliff Richard song, “Dynamite”) and finally shortened to the much more dynamic, and explosive sounding name of The Dynamites, in 1964.

Some of the band’s highlights included shows with Cliff Richard & The Shadows, The Moody Blues (at an ope-air festival in Paris, January 66), Tony Sheridan (with The Dynamites as backing band) or Bill Ramsey (at one concert in Chur, Switzerland). Their records are classics, and considered a must have for 60s beat, garage collectors worldwide.
