Description

Q65 - Revolution WOW! Here's another Dutch classic! The original mono pressing of the debut album by Q65! The Hague's no. 1 Beat band. What can I say about the music? If the Stones took more acid, they'd certainly sound more like this. This record kicks @ss! Original Dutch MONO pressing on the Decca label from 1966.
Condition: The record is in VG condition and the flipback sleeve is in VG+ condition. Record has marks but plays great due to the superb original pressing.

[isdntekvideo] The Scented gardens of the mind book reads the following on Q65: Along with The Outsiders, Q65 were the dirtiest and best rhythm and blues performers on the European continent. Jay Baar and Peter Fink had previously played in Leadbelly's Unlimited but accepted an offer from Willem Beiler and Joop Roelofs to create a new group in 1965.
Their first album Revolution (1966) was aptly titled, because this triumphant work equalled early Pretty Things or Brian Jones's aspirations for the early Rolling Stones. Q65 arguably even had a better vocalist than Brian May or Mick Jagger (at this stage) in Willem Bieler, screaming out his heartfelt blues on "I Got Nightmares" and "Summer Thoughts In A Field Of Weed". Some strong cover versions were also included, most notably the extended finale "Bring It On Home". Their arrangements were inventive for the period, already experimenting with harmonium and bulgarin alongside the fuzz guitar and crashing drums. Besides their five singles (reaching the Top 40) in 1966/67, Q65 also released their "Kjoe Blues" EP in 1967, it was the ultimate Dutch r&b tribute with striking versions of standards by Jimmy Reed, Chester Burnett, Robert Johnson and Howlin' Wolf. What happened at the end of 1967 was the destruction of a prosperous future when Willem Bieler was drafted into the army and Peter Vink got busted. The remaining members added Frank Verhoef for a new group named Circus and delved into psychedelia and confusion. They never got further than a promo single before disbanding, although much more was recorded.
