Zero Hour 1957

A routine flight turns into a major emergency as passengers and crew succumb to food poisoning - is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Annette was discovered at a very young age and quickly became one of the first and most popular Mousketeer. Her squeaky clean image and fame made it clear that she quickly needed to make records in order to cash in on her teen star status. This marvellous 2CD set includes all her recordings from 1957-1960 and features her hits "First Name Initial", "O Dio Mio", "Lonely Guitar", "Dream Boy" and her breakthrough hit "Tall Paul". Most of these songs have not been available for many years and some are appearing on CD for the first time, and if that wasn't enough some like "Pineapple Princess" are in glorious true stereo!

From the beginnings till 1985 - The band Les Sauterelles stood for the decade of the 60ties, when Switzerland's youth was shaken by the rock'n'roll fever.When in summer 1968 Les Sauterelles ruled the Swiss charts with their hit “Heavenly Club”, this success marked both their climax and end. Often referred as the “Swiss Beatles”, Les Sauterelles had been the undisputed kings of the scene for years. It was their resounding success that caused their downfall in the same year – a pattern that would repeat itself on and on throughout the history of pop and rock music in Switzerland. Differences over the direction in which their music was going and the sobering reality of their daily professional routine had led the group to an impasse. Their breakup heralded a similar fate for most other Swiss “beat bands” who had for years been cruising along in the slipstream of their Anglo-American models, albeit with varying degrees of success.
