Subtitled The (second) single compilation 2015 - 2021 this record arrives exactly 10 years after the first one, the highly sucessfull Witches, Spiders, Frogs & Holes album. At this moment, most with it or aware folks in our retro scene have common knowledge and informed opinions of that strange musical alchemist known as Mr. Marcel Bontempi. His phenomenal career arc from the 1998 debut of 1960's-beat band combo, The Montesas, to his monster solo hit of 2013, Dig A Hole (on Sleazy Records), has seen Marcel's star rise ever higher as a steady stream of his popular & clever recordings have been snatched up (SOLD OUT!) by an ever-widening fan base. Live stage appearances by Marcel & his gal Friday, the effervescent Miss Ira Lee, and Marcel's own hillbilly gang, Dr. Bontempi's Snake Oil Company, at clubs & festivals throughout Europe (and even in Nashville and Las Vegas, USA!) have deservedly helped to spread the Bontempi infamy & infatuation far & wide. So, HERE is the second compilation of the wizard of rhythm - full-packed with his 7 output (all limited and sold out by now) from 2015 until 2021 and some unreleased songs and muscial themes for theatre plays among others. The vinyl comes in a gatefold cover with lots of infos and photos and with an extra bonus 7 of unreleased material inc a verion of Nick Cave?s Red Right Hand
