A-Cads - Hungry For Love (1966)

From Johannesburg/South Africa the A-Cads where one of the best south-african Beat/R&B bands (whatever that means). Compare it to other groups around the world at that time they sound a bit weak to my ears. This CD (Crystal Emporium Productions CEP-012 / 1999) is a re-issue of their album from 1966 plus bonus tracks from guitar player Hank Squires solo efforts. There is also a website www.rock.co.za/files/acads.html where you can read their story with complete discography.
