Part 2 - The big fake ...
This page is dedicated to a german trickster named Henry From(m) who dared to be a musician and manager of MISSUS BEASTLY. He took illegal action because he produced bootlegs and new material under the band's moniker but was unknown to the original members by then.

What an impertinence! He reproduced the red debut album named as 'Nara Asst Incense' (OPP 5-32) under the bandname FROM'S MISSUS BEASTLY. The cover art is totally differing, as well as the song order. Additionally the musicans' names were modified (Labbes Oldemeier, Henry C From, Ghandy R. Weihmeyer, Niki W. Nickel, Petj Hofman). There is also existing a cassette version (Topsound-OPP T/OPP-032).

Even the wellknown german fanzine 'Sounds' fall for it and printed an article where this illegal release is commented as an 'ambitious trial of a pupil band'. The Luxembourgish bootleg label Germanofon published 'Nara Asst Incense' as a Compact Disc (Germanofon 941095) on the end.

In 1972 From(m) even dared to produce two new albums under the original MISSUS BEASTLY moniker with musicians gathered by him - 'Volksmusik - Live At Amsterdam' (Electric Bird ECB-XC-321-90.001S) and 'Im Garten Des Schweigens' (Electric Bird ECB-XC-321-90.002S), the latter was reissued in 1973 as 'Super Rock Made In Germany' (Electric Bird ECB-XC-90.003S). Two members - Pedro Schemm and Tony Schäfer - are also known playing for the band R.S. RINDFLEISCH.

On top of it all several single productions were released - 'Fuck You Free/Fire Bird' (Electric Bird ECB 80.101), 'A Better Life/Henry’s Dead Woman Blues' (Electric Bird ECB 80.102) and 'Jawa Masa/Love Train Rock' (Electric Bird ECB 80.103).
