Prae Kraut Pandaemonium

German series of unofficial beat and garage rock compilations of the rarest material of the 60s. Prae-Kraut is a term that was coined to describe the mid-60's music of Germany and other European countries like Austria and parts of Switzerland with natives talking in teutonic tongue, separating from the upcoming Kraut Rock stamp that dominated by the turn of the century. Cultural roots rather than national borders define the subject of interest and even foreign bands, who spent most or all of their career here, get incorporated now and then. UK-bands like The Shamrocks, The Governors or The Rackets were literally unknown back home, but integral parts of the German scene. After the "Visions Of The Past" series and the "Diggin' For Gold" compilations, they started with a "Germany-only" compilation label in 1992. They first planned only to release 2 volumes, but after lots of response from fans and buyers they decided to go on till today.
