The Outsiders (1967)While a lot of bands were exploring psychedelic rock in '67, The (Dutch) Outsiders kept it simple and punchy.
Their debut starts out with 5 live tracks and then kicks into high gear on side two with 6 studio cuts. Wally Tax sounds so calm on 'Filthy Rich', one of my favorite punk songs with a simple fuzzed out lead guitar riff pre-dating the first Stooges album. More info at
popfloor.
As an added bonus,
here is a three song 12", 'Here's A Heart', by The Lyres that includes 'Touch' recorded live on dutch radio with Wally Tax.
Q'65 'Greatest Hits' (1971)A super
collection of hits by this Dutch r & b cum punk band, recorded 1965-1969.
The Den Haag (The Hague) group Q '65 played raw garage-style music and was often compared for that with their English counterparts, Pretty Things. Remarkable, however, was the singer's voice, who never learned to pronounce English words properly, which resulted in some really amusing-sounding output on their records. Other notable affairs of the group were, amongst others, their stunt of sailing to England by a rubber boat, and also how they often managed to hang halfway over the loudspeaker boxes, in order to keep themselves from falling over. Sometimes, in concert, Peter Vink sat down on the stage, playing as if he was stoned! -
