Comment:
Yes, more childhood heroes. The best R&R band ever to come out of the Netherlands and the first band I ever saw live (in September 1976 at the Donauhalle in Donaueschingen, curiously supported by German Krautrock noodlers Embryo). These guys have been at it since 1961 (move over, Mick and Keith . . . or should I say Status Quo?), when they started out as The Tornados. Over the past 38 years, they recorded so many great albums, I could easily have made this a boxed set. But you can't have it all, so I tried to control myself and compiled a mere double set. Most of their singles are proudly presented here (and they were a great singles band, even though they only charted twice outside Holland, in '73, with "Radar Love", and '84, with "Twilight Zone"), plus lots of album goodies. Unfortunately, a truckload of stuff is missing, e.g. their glorious 20-min version of "Eight Miles High" which easily beats the Byrds original by several lengths. Trivia: The group's first drummer, Jaap Eggermont, was the man behind the dreadful "Stars on 45". Made for Valis, who only had "Moontan".
Feedback:
Whoa. Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of this, as I'm simultaneously attracted and repulsed by "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone" (although there was a time as a high-school junior when I once proclaimed "Radar Love" to be "my favorite non-Beatles, non-Stones and non-Replacements song of all-time") and like "Daddy Buy Me a Girl" pretty well. If we ever decide to trade, Tom, I think this volume will be what I want.
I "only have 'Moontan'" because their catalog here isn't prodigious.., at all. And then because of "Are You Receiving Me?" I could do w/out "Radar Love", but as a thorough overview I'd expect it. Based on what I've read, and over a few discussions this was a band to be investigated further. Especially looking forward to "Long Blond Animal" on Volume 2.., and praying it is THE song I hope it is...20+ years later...
Thank you Herr Mohr.., Danke.
Thank you Herr Mohr.., Danke.
Another interesting choice for a single-artist mix, Thomas. I only know "Radar Love" I must admit and would love to hear some more of their stuff. Still digging your brilliant mixes in the taxi nightly!
yeah, i saw them live in the early 70's as well and they ROCKED THE HOUSE! wasn't "back home" a charts hit as well?
I can't wait..., I'm gonna' meet my postal agent at the road today!
