[TheRapeOfJustice]

Wie van de leden had omstreeks 1977 korte tijd een platenzaak in de Kinkerstraat in Amsterdam?

[delfia406]

@TheRapeOfJustice

Frans Sjardin, Peters brother.

[TheRapeOfJustice]

@delfia406 , thank you. He made me listen to the first two (timeless) solo albums by Peter Gabriel.

[delfia406]

@TheRapeOfJustice

you;re welvome

[Mikeyvm88]

@TheRapeOfJustice Ik denk, dat je Hans la Faille van Sweet d'Buster, Cuby etc bedoeld.

[TheRapeOfJustice]

@Mikeyvm88 , stond die rond 1977, 1978 ook in die Group1850 platenzaak in de Kinkerstraat?

[MrKasdal]

one of the best psychédelic album of all time, perfect 

[delfia406]

Anyway.. they ´stole´ the theme from Iron Butterfly

Lyrics



[Aegmos001]

Better than Pink Floyd

[earthless1990]

very mystique

[NarcoticSyntax]

Listening to the melody starting at 2:17 rings a bell with reference to rings of fire: watch?v=DCZMOndmcQY (starting 1'55").

[PsstPeet]

@NarcoticSyntax Ring of Fire was 11 years later

[NarcoticSyntax]

@PsstPeet

I know, just meant to say that Wall of Voodoo obviously have been inspired by the song "Paradise Now".

[dinkeldal]

een hoogtepunt in de nederlandse rockscene

[puch1950]

Lp verkocht aan een Engelsman in de jaren '70 dom dom,maar heb deze opname nu gelukkig op CD.

Perfect in de auto.

[Aegmos001]

My favorite Psych album of all time

[hanjomorren]

I was too young to enjoy the first time, born in 1958, but when I finally discovered them, wow. I really dug this music. It is good to hear them again after so many years

[gildamx]

Fantastic trip, fantastic album.

[kommiksanders]

Anyone who has the complete lp/cd of this band, want to trade with me for money, other music, or just ask.

I live in the Netherlands, Frisia, Drachten, if anybody is interested, please leave a message at my profile, thanks.

I'm really really interested.

[CayctusUnderground]

@kommiksanders I GOT THE LP & THE CD THIS GROUP FOR ME ITS NICE THERE IS ANOTHER GROUP FROM DUTCH BANDS  ITS CALL SURPRISE EXCELLENT VERY UNDERGROUND HAVE YOUR HEARED THE FIRST Q65 S ALLBUM FROM 1967 WHAT CAN MORE TO SAY i CANT GET WORDS TO EXPLAIN

[jeehannes]

I bought the LP somewhere around 1975 in the Netherlands, but there was no sleeve, just a blank. I played it a lot and loved the sound of it.

[MrCarlostheVag]

This LP was NOT on the normal market. It was produced and sold by a big warehouse (V&D). 10 years ago I bought the CD in the States, but the origin of it was illustre.

[seesselberg]

Great track by a GREAT band !!!

[delfia406]

Didn't you mean: he's my oncle. You're just 28 yeard old!!

[annaki1980]

[Liesbeth92]

Oh, come onnnn. No way..... You've gotta be joking.

[delfia406]

Yep, I was 11 years old and "zero 1850' was my favourite song at that time. Saw them on TV moefgaga. And I watched them playing football in the streets. Peter Sjardin, Ruud van Buuren, Dean van Bergen en Beertje Klaasse. And manager Hugo (Gordijn) ofcourse.

And later on Peter moved to Slijkeinde Den Haag and met his neighbour Dolf Brouwers (S. van Oekel)

[annaki1980]

oh wow that's really cool :) i've met hardly any of my Dutch family - we live in NZ

[PAULLONDEN]
