Released 2001
One of the oldest german bands formed around 1960-61 from Achim Reichel and Herbert Hildebrandt.
First releases on Philips in 1963 , one year later they released 2 albums on Ariola before the STAR-CLUB label was
born in 1965 lasting till 1967. Many lineup changes till the 2nd take of  "The Witch" in 1970 became  a hit in  many
countries (UK, Germany; italy , US  etc.) The Band split in 1977.

The RATTLES toured with The ROLLING STONES and the EVERLY BROTHERS successful through the UK in autumn of
1963 & spring 64. In 1966 they played on the BEATLES-BRAVO-Blitztour, as  the far better Live-Act only CLIFF BENNETT
was near as good. In 1968 Hildebrandt took over as producer and songwriter.
Herbert Hildebrandt and Dicky Tarrach reformed the band in 1988 for a short time with Achim and Henner, still
touring and recording till today.
