Dave Dean –Motorbike - Obscure NederGlam (1976)

Dave Dean –Motorbike/Make This World Worth to Live In –Poker S631 (1976 NL)

It’s been a while since I posted about an obscure Dutch Glam single, but here we have a bit of classic in terms of roaring Biker NederGlam that doesn’t hold back on the level and prominence of engine noises. 
Dave Dean was in fact a pseudonym for Dick Joustra who played in Zingara (who released the Glam Cruncher Girl, Girl, Girl. Here he comes under the tutelage of producer Jacques Zwart, who in turn was in the band Amsterdam. Dick (as Dave Dean) also put out another single in 1974 “The Man” that is much less interesting than this one. In the meantime saddle up and go with the roar…

Utrecht Record Fair November 2017 -Day 3

Today was a less frantic day and a general mopping up operation with no malice aforethought...

So nice finds...The Australian Eric Burdon and The Animals actually features Sky Pilot parts 1 +2 on the same side with a couple of other tracks on the B side...Very practical

The US Fruit Machine features the Willow Tree on the  B side. Panda is great. Finally got a perfect Zipps at a good price.

The last minute discovery was the Maia and Full Limit, lovely Byrdsian harmony pop from Denmark




Next weekend is the last big record fair weekend of the year for me with Olympia and Luton

Till next time...

Utrecht Record Fair November 2017 - Day 2

2nd day, 2nd haul...

As with yesterday, we are not talking great numbers, but just great finds

Finding a bargain doesn't mean spending 2 euros on a record, but can also mean spending €200.

The Eyes EP is just perfect and  looks unplayed. It was not one of the lot found in quantity 10 years ago, but was bought over 30 years ago at the Jive Dive record shop.

A few more were knocked off my wants list including The Gnomes of Zurich and Bluejeans (great late Blue Jeans when they were no longer swinging)





The Austrian EX Slaves madness of Charles Ryder Corporation is another upgrade




  Speaking of Flames, Streamliner is a great catch from this South African band. The pic sleeve was so ghastly, that I chose a copy without! Sounds Like a Beach Boys update with great thudding  bass and which links nicely with the demo of  See The Light I found yesterday



Other nice ones include The Shindigs (Graham Gouldman), Caloogie and Lazy Day from Tinkerbells Fairydust and The Image Germany only single





 Anyhow, I will have a more leisurely stroll around the fair tomorrow,  before heading off to the airport. I don't expect anything special, but who knows...

Utrecht Record fair November 2017 - Day 1

So here we are again. It is now my 21st visit to Utrecht, something that is now firmly implanted in my life and as inevitable death and taxes...

Things have changed, the rich bounties of cheap Glam singles are nor longer part and parcel of the Utrecht experience, but it is also the case that I no longer have the patience to sift through piles and piles of cheap European picture sleeves.

So it's  not now about quantity, and unexpected discoveries but generally a tighter focus on pure gems with the odd unexpected oddity.

There are 2 obvious biggies here, and both those singles were bought in one swoop. That Koobas single only appeared in France and features what must be their best track (although Barricades is another obvious contender. The French Dantalian's picture sleeve is really fetching. Both records came from The French television archives and have O.R.T.F punctured into the labels

It was nice to complete my Idle Race collection with Impostors having proved to be a painful gap to fill up to now

The oddity is that fetching Pa Pa Du Run Da Run single (Sunshine Music/Healthy Lady) from 1972

Silver Lining was a very recent discovery and a lovely purepop concoction by Tony Rivers

 

After a long time searching, finally got a nice spare of the Dutch proto punk sleaze of the Good Time Joe single



Anyhow it's not all about records...Behind one of the stalls, this is where the action was at 1:45 today

First cut up the garlic, then add and heat the wine, add 1.4 kgs of cheese, then stir adding a gracious amount of absinthe as a final touch...and don't forget the important sartorial cheese elegance of an apron...

Tomorrow we start all over again. Today I took 21,837 steps at the fair walking over 10 miles just for 20 records!
