Dutch band of which I can't seem to get more info than they were from Rotterdam and recorded this one-off album for the record store owned Dankers label, situated in the Coolsingel area of Rotterdam. If you can read Dutch there's also member info on the back sleeve pic below. Listening to it today I hear a competent pop psych album made in a contemporary British style, divided between six covers and six self penned. The covers are nicely done, albeit too close to the originals and to my taste not reaching up to any of them, yet BeeGees "In My Own Time" works very well and both Zombies "She's Not There" plus Loving Spoonful's "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" have enough charm to make them worth a spin ot two. Of the band's own compositions the soft "Kind Words" and the happy "Play The Clown" are worth while. All over I find some of the vocals quite disturbing, especially when they're doing quires, going from slightly off to downright false. But if you can live with that there's good music to enjoy. So even if not one of the better from the late sixties pop psych jungle, still in its way odd enough to find a way into many genre collections and certainly has a place in mine. Released as compatible stereo. Rather narrow and sometimes monoish, but it works both ways. This Dutch seems to have been the sole issue. It came with label as shown here in a laminated cover.
