St. Pauli Affairs
Red Light Music From The German Reeperbahn Movies Of The 1960s and 70s
DIG002 CD
DIG002 LP
release date: 10th of september 2001
In the years from 1967 to 1972 German cinemas were haunted by a very
successful wave of movies dealing with a special part of Hamburg: the red
light district St. Pauli.
In contrast to the St. Pauli movies of the 1950s, which showed an upright
and quiet image of the area around the harbour, these movies revealed the
true face of St. Pauli: prostitution, drugs and violence.
More than 30 motion pictures have been made in that time including
Plaisirs Pervers, Hot Traces Of St. Pauli, The Priest Of St. Pauli, Eros
Center Hamburg, On the Reeperbahn At Half Past Midnight, When Night Falls
On The Reeperbahn, Streetaquaintances Of St. Pauli… Their soundtracks fused
elements from the music of that time Jazz, Funk, 60's Beat & Lounge to
create a genre that reflected the tone of the films, Sleazy Listening. All
material on this CD is previously unreleased.
St Pauli Affairs brings together the cream of composers from this era such
as:
Peter Thomas (Space Patrol, Edgar Wallace, The Boss)
Berry Lipman (The Girl from Paramaribo, Star Maidens)
Peter Schirmann (Pop Shopping)
Wolfgang Hartmayer (Erotik On The School Bench, Jess Franco's X312 -
Flight to Hell)
Roland Kovac (48 Hours To Acapulco, Jonathan)
Siegfried Franz (Stahlnetz)
Rolf Kuhn (Jess Franco's The Corpse Packs His Bags, Wedding Night Report)
Frank Valdor (uncrowned king of easy-euro-bossa)
Erwin Halletz (Karl May, Liane - Jungle Goddess, Girls at the Gynecologist)
