From the minds behind the two volumes of Funky Fräuleins, Beat Fräuleins winds the clock back slightly further, focusing on the mid-'60s and a parade of solo German females with a variety of arrangements – most of them pretty sophisticated for the '60s. Whether the performers are pursuing the prevalent beat sound, indulging in a Motown pastiche or two, snarling like garage rockers, or covering Western hits (Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On," the Hollies' "Bus Stop," and the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love" receive the Germanic treatment), all of these tracks are worth the unearthing.
