The Cedars (Sea-ders) I Don't Know Why 1968

This amazing track is from the Lebanon band The Cedars (formerly known as The Sea-Ders *"Thanks A Lot", "Undecidedly" fame*) They had some big hits in their home country but never made it big in England where they recorded this great track. They broke up after being told they had to pay for their studio time after their singles flopped in th UK, so they just left thier instruments and called it a day. A real shame because this band had some amazing material. A new LP (the cover is the pic on the video) with all of their known recordings was just released last year, I highly suggest it!!

I'm amazed. A Lebanese band? Damn-it's disturbing to think that if it weren't for Youtube and my hungry curiosity , I would never have known about them.  They really are good.

Yeah I know now. I was shwinxed by a buyer at eBay when I first thought it was Israeli. The label was from Tel-Aviv. But the original drummer Zad it seems has explained to me that they had a name change after 1967 and signed to Decca, England.

I have never seen this coloured-sleeve picture before on the net. It is realy strange, and maybe that's why I thought that this record was a knock-off.

Sorry!
