- The Paco Crew — Germany, founded c. 1986
A crack intro from The Paco Crew, a German group catalogued on CSDb under group ID 2167. Also known as "The Paco Crew 1730" and "The Famous Paco Crew," TPC dissolved in July 1987 after producing 142 releases. The group's membership included coders HBU, Profi, and Redline, plus The Parade International and The Syndicate who handled cracking duties. CSDb documents two TPC crack intros — this March 1987 version and a June 1987 follow-up coded by The Parade International with Fred Gray's "Highway Encounter" as the SID tune. No individual credits are recorded for this specific earlier intro. A CSDb comment notes that "most of the members joined Beastie Boys afterwards" and praises their "legendary intro-editors for other groups" — suggesting TPC's influence extended beyond their own releases into tooling used by the broader German scene. The group's dissolution in mid-1987 fed talent into Beastie Boys, one of Germany's notable late-1980s groups.
