The Petards: A Deeper Blue (LP, 180gram Vinyl)

- The first volume  ,in our series with 1:1 vinyl re-issues of the four original Petards albums.
- One of the most popular and successful German beat and rock bands.
- The first album of the group, originally released in 1967.
- New edition - re-mastered, comes with original cover, additional inlay and English liner notes.

In their early days, The Petards (French: firecrackers) were regarded the third force on the German scene behind The Rattles and The Lords - with the decisive difference that they did not come from a major city like Hamburg or Berlin like their rivals but from the tranquil community of Schrecksbach in Oberhessen in the mid-eastern part of West Germany. No big city media behind them, no urban club scene around them, far and near no record company office, let alone professional artist or tour management. ,

The Petards stood for province, deepest province, although it is often ignored that even today most people still live in rural areas. It was the same in 1964 when the two brothers Klaus and Horst Ebert (both: vocals, guitars, keyboards) with Roger Waldmann (bass) and Hans-Jürgen Schreiber (drums) set out to mix up the German rock world. The band compensated the geographical disadvantage with unbelievable ambition, diligence and determination. No village pub or marquee was left out in the following years, The Petards have earned their audience, and that should finally pay off. In addition, the band had two exceptionally talented musicians with the brothers Ebert, especially Klaus as composer of almost all Petards titles stood out, while Horst contributed most of the lyrics and took care of the band management. ,

 ,In 1966 the band went to Osnabrück to record the first two singles (45s), Baby Run, Run, Run, Run / Pretty Miss and Right Time / She Didn't for the CCA label of Hans-Werner Kuntze in two sessions in August and December, which were distributed throughout Germany via Metronome and brought the band its first national recognition. In 1967 the decisive course was set for The Petards. With the new drummer Arno Dittrich the band performed in March in the national TV show, 'ZDF-Drehscheibe' in front of an audience of millions, one month later The Petards already had 58(!) registered fan clubs. The TV appearance in the SWF 'Talentschuppen' in June 1967 brought the band their final breakthrough. ,

The jury for this extremely popular music show also included producer Bert Varell, who summed up the performance of the Petards as follows: ''Your performance was a bang. Not only we judges, but also the competing artists were enraptured by the vitality, the speed, the tough sound of these four guys. Six weeks later we met again in the studio in Maschen near Hamburg. To produce this disc. A Deeper Blue.’’


A Deeper Blue' was recorded between August 15th and 18th, 1967 under the direction of Bert Varell. The band was well prepared and quickly recorded the 12 titles from the pen of the two Ebert brothers. The songs corresponded to the typical Beatles pop sound of the time with slight psychedelia influences. Short and very catchy.

Varell placed the record with the low-budget label Europa, which at the time used a sensational marketing trick. ’A Deeper Blue' was released in autumn 1967 at an unbeatable price of DM 5.00 per record and sold over 100,000 copies in no time. For the debut record of a German band an almost unbelievably high run! ,

Bear Family re-issues this album for the first time on vinyl since it originally came out in 1967. It comes with the original artwork, is pressed on 180 gram vinyl, and we have added the reproduction of the original autograph card to 'A Deeper Blue', plus English liner notes. This record is the first of four scheduled vinyl re-releases by the Petards.

The Petards

DIE PETARDS IM SCHNELLKURS

Sie machten gerne Musik und teilten eine gemeinsame Vision und den Willen, diese umzusetzen. Dabei offenbarten sie überraschende Fähigkeiten und Talente, mit denen sie für sich und für die ganze oberhessische Region die Zeit ein paar Jahre lang fast anhielten.

Viele ihrer früh gesteckten Ziele erreichten sie: Weit über 1000 Auftritte, 100.000 verkaufte Exemplare der 1. LP, wiederholte Auslandstourneen, Nr 1 Hits, LP Release in Japan etc. Nur der größte Wunsch: Eine Nr 1 in den USA, blieb ihnen versagt. Die Geschichte der Petards ist eine ganz ungewöhnliche Erfolgsstory, auch wenn aus den Schrecksbacher Knallfröschen nie interkontinentale Raketen wurden..


Sie hatten nicht nur mehr Ideen, als die meisten anderen Rockkollegen, sie setzten sie auch permanent selber um:

- Sie boten eine souveräne Bühnen Choreographie.
- Sie entwarfen ihre eigene Bühnenkleidung und ließen sich diese nähen.
- Sie waren die erste Band im Land mit einer ausgefuchsten Lightshow (inkl. Strobe-Lights). Die Einzelteile dafür hatten sie sich im Kasselaner Elektrohandel erworben.
- Sie waren die erste Band, die massenhaft Sticker mit ihrem eigenen Logo verteilten (und anderes Werbematerial allemal).
- Sie bauten ein Netzwerk von 380, größtenteils wirklich aktiven Fanclubs auf, die in einem Maße für ihre Popularität sorgten, wie das heute nur via MTV/Viva möglich ist.
- Sie tauschten die Konzertbühne wiederholt mit einer Theaterbühne ein
- Sie veranstalteten die legendären Herzberg-Festivals, auf denen erstmals deutscher Pop Mainstream mit dem Underground zusammenkam.
- Und zur Krönung lieferte Arno allabendlich an seiner Schießbude mit zwei Bass Drums (Neu!) sein unvergleichliches Schlagzeugsolo ab.

Wurden sie schließlich auch von der Zeit, dem Zeitgeist, der wachsenden Konkurrenz (mit Haaren, Musikern & Managern & Connections) eingeholt, manchmal auch überholt: Für einige Jahre legten sie die Maßlatte für andere Bands sehr hoch vor. Sie verwirklichten konsequent ihre Ansprüche, an denen so manche alternative Krautrock/Underground-Band scheiterte:

- Sie waren absolut independent.
- Sie schrieben ihre eigenen Stücke.
- Sie waren lange Zeit ihre eigenen Roadmanager.
- Der Mann an der Rhythmusgitarre war der Manager.
- Der Mann am Bass war der Fanbetreuer.
- Sie entwarfen ihr eigenes Logo, gestalteten ihre Plakate und Plattenhüllen eigenhändig.
- Sie waren auch noch als Profis ihre eigenen Promoter, organisierten viele Auftritt von A - Z selber.

Eigentlich, ja eigentlich hätte diese Band keinen Erfolg haben dürfen, denn sie schleppte doch einige Handicaps mit sich herum. Es spricht für sie, daß sie diese jahrelang mühelos wegsteckten:

- Die Petards hatten keinen Manager, keine Connections im Musikbusiness, kein Vorbild, das sie hätten kopieren können.
- Sie waren, wenn auch ehrgeizige, so doch isolierte Bubis aus der tiefsten Provinz.
- Zwei Bandmitglieder waren objektiv gesehen sehr mäßige Musiker.
- Zwei Bandmitglieder trugen von Anfang an wegen ihres schütteren Haarwuchses Toupets. (Ein bis heute in der Rockgeschichte eher seltenes Phänomen.)

Mit dieser CD-Edition ihres Gesamtoutputs wird, 25 Jahre nach dem Ende der Band, ein verspätetes Happy End nachgeliefert.

Laß uns zurück zum Anfang gehen ....
