The tour through 40 European blues Clubs was not without consequences. In Chicago and its environs it went from mouth to mouth that there was really a hot Combo in »good old Germany« that could impel any blues veteran to maximum Performance even on a bad evening. In the course of the years almost every blues celebrity on tour through Europe had to experience that the Yugoslavian guitar-player stole their show. Sunnyland Slim, Blind John Davis, Champion Jack Dupree,Johnny Heartsman and Louisiana Red can tell a thing or two about that. In between, there are television and radio dates. The first LP appears: »BLUES COMPANY LIVE« (1980). Todor »Toscho« Todorovic and his musicians need more and more space for their live-shows an the stage (»just have a look at the foot-work«). The first successful solo-tours, without Partners from the USA who haue an advertising appeal, bring the band a regular audience all over West Germany. In between, there are television and radio dates. Second LP: »Ich hab den Blues schon'n bißchen länger« (1982). The Benelux, as well as Switzerland and Austria are toured - in most cases, customs officers let the Bus of the BLUES COMPANY pass without check with a friendly smile. Street and town Parties, university Parties, jazz and Pop festivals, the most important European Blues festivals, luxury discos, jazz Clubs and Punk Pubs, in between they take a few days for the production of their third LP »The Third Step« (1986). Result 1987: television and radio dates with all stations in the ARD-network as well as with the stations in Poland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Switzerland. 120 concerts (128 to be exact, if the guest Performances given at private Parties are included) in West Germany, Benelux, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland and Cyprus. Distance covered on motorways 56.000 miles (inner-city distances excluded). For the period from 26th - 28th August 1987, no dates were accepted. Toscho and his band were producing a CD, being the first German blues band to do that. The record was produced in the DDD method (dual trace, directly on the digital mastertape), i.e. »live in the studio«. Via telephone, the Best and most famous blues musicians of Europe were called together as guests and they met each other in the Jovel studio at Münster in the North of Germany. The Jovel studio is a former cinema,a large, well-resounding room, in which there are many live concerts. The fact that all Instruments - including the bass guitar - were played at normal concert volume via amplifiers, gave also rise to the »live feeling«. After last auditions during the soundchecks, a maximum of 3 takes were recorded - in most cases, just one was needed. The recordings were such a great fun for the band that after 3 days and 47 hours in the studio they could not refrain from making a session. ... we hope that you have as much fun listening to this work as we had recording it. http://www.bluescompany.de/en/index.php?lang=en http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_Company
