EXCLUSIVE: OUTSIDERS & BRAINBOX 2LPS IN STOCK!

  • BRAINBOX - DARK ROSE: THEIR 45'S (2LP)

    Brainbox was something special. The band not only featured some of the Netherlands' most preternaturally talented musicians, but in less than three years they produced a recorded legacy that was truly world class. Much of their best work appeared on their 1969-71 singles, which have been compiled on this definitive 2LP collection, pressed on 180-gram vinyl and dynamically re-mastered from the original tapes. The original lineup with lead-guitarist Jan Akkerman, bassist André Reijnen, drummer Pierre van der Linden and vocalist extraordinaire Kaz Lux deliver the goods on pile-driving blues rock songs like 'Down Man' and 'Dark Rose', and the hard-hitting Hendrix-inspired rocker 'Amsterdam, The First Days', all presented in their original mono mixes. After Akkermans' departure, Brainbox expanded its musical palette with guitarists Rudy de Queljoe (ex-Dragonfly) and John Schuursma (ex-Rob Hoekes R&B Group), recording memorable tracks like 'Between Alpha And Omega', 'Doomsday Train', 'Mobilae' and the blisteringly powerful 'Virgin'. 'Dark Rose/Their 45s' also includes previously unreleased demo-versions of 'Virgin', 'Dark Rose' and the epic 'Sea Of Delight'. It comes packaged in a magnificent gatefold-cover with rare photos and liner-notes including exclusive interview material.

    OUTSIDERS - OUTSIDERS (2LP)

     

    Released at the peak of their popularity in early 1967, The Outsiders' debut-album featured one side of live recordings and one side of studio-tracks. The album finds them playing with a rawness and urgency few groups could ever match on primal but brilliantly conceived tracks like 'Story 16', 'Afraid Of The Dark', 'Filthy Rich' and 'Won't You Listen'. This expanded double-album reissue adds a second disc of rare material, including a previously unreleased studio-session from January 1966, a live concert taped at Paradiso in December 1968, and a remarkable instrumental demo of Strange Things Are Happening. Dynamically re-mastered in the 24-bit domain from the original tapes, and pressed in 180-gram vinyl, 'The Outsiders' comes in a spectacular gatefold sleeve and includes liner-notes by Ugly Things magazine's Mike Stax.
