Naughty Nymphs (1972) Franz Antel, Michel Caputo, Sybil Danning, Eva Garden, Alena Penz, Comedy, Erotic

In typical exploiteers fashion this German 1972 dramatic comedy [Girls Who Come to Munich] was bought from the European distributer by a U.S. exploiter[Omni Pictures] and released in North America in 1976 with a terrible english dub and new sexy poster and totally new "Americanized" set of film credits. This of course was to fool audiences into thinking that this was a home grown Hollywood softcore sex comedy. Christina Lindberg & Ingrid Steeger were unknown in the states and not considered commercial assets so their names were changed along with the director, producer and the rest of the cast. Omni also added a teaser "Starring the Winners of the 1976 International Swingers Competition" which meant absolutely nothing. This "new" dubbed edited version was later distributed by Something Weird Video.

Karajan could be so expressive, with the big sound of the Berlin Philharmonic, in Vivaldi's very famous Magnum Opus. Solo violinist Michel Schwalbe is also terrific, quiet and bold alternately, as needed.

Siloah (1970). In 1970 Manuela, Tiny, Thom and Wolfgang were living and playing together in Munich. Under the name of Siloah they released a now highly sought-after LP whose master tapes are lost. In 1993 it was released on CD for the first time (Lost Pipedreams LP 013 CD), but unsufficiently decrackled and without any bonus tracks. Now at last there is a flawless re-issue of it including everything recorded at that time - even the track from the extremely rare "Release" sampler as well as their 7'' "Mit Tiny nach Tanger", of which only one copy was made. But what is most impressive is the 28-page booklet in colour, which leaves nothing to be desired. Siloah’s second album, "Sukram Gurk", recorded with a new line-up in 1972, is soon to follow. Dag Erik Asbjørnsen: "Siloah made two LPs, regarded as among the most frenzied on the German underground scene"…
