  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    First ever Vinyl release of a CD only 1993 release by prolific Dutch indie band the Four One and Only’s crossing the borders of garage, indie, psych, folk, punk, anarchy and weirdness in a still unique way. LP comes in a gatefold sleeve with insert and gimmick sticker. Music was produced by Joseph James Foster and Stephen Parfitt in Rugby, UK. Sleeve art is b y Berend Vonk. In the liners you can read about the desastrous trip to the UK, the band destruction sleeping in a 24 hour party people house, the destruction of the master tape in the mastering facility, the disappearance of the bass-player, the CD which was mastered from a cheap copy cassett and sounded like totall shit… Breathtaking. All sounds are re-edited at Studio 195 with Patrick Delabie. Now cleared sounds show a band escaping the UK and US influences and creating a sound of their own. Indie, underground and very Dutch. In 1993 it must have been the unhippest record of they year as it stood outside everything happening those days. But now it just might fall in the right place and time. Very danceable tunes mixed with weird rhythms. Punky, garagey, folkey, psychedelic…. Songs about seals and Armageddon… A classic. 300 copies.

    We sell 'm for 18 euro's each!!!

about

This album was meant to be the musical statement of one of the most interesting Dutch indie bands from the 80s and 90s. Searching not to sound like a copy of US or UK bands they developed their own sound mixing garage, punk, folk, indierock and anything with their local culture, their humor and strange look upon life. The whole recording session in the UK in 1992 was surrounded with bad luck and the CD sounded absolutely horrible when it came out. Now you can hear the sounds like they were mean to be. Very soon a limited press of 300 gatefold albums will be available too. We are proud to present to you one of the most interesting Dutch 90s albums way ahead of it time. Don't forget what happens when a band tries to become original. You become totally unhip. This was the unhippest hippest album ever but ight just have found its place in time.

This album was originally released in 1993. Cause off a destroyed master the sound of the CD was totally awful. We re-edited the sounds the way they were meant to be. Album was recorded in Rugby UK by Stephen Parfitt and Joe Foster. Re-editing by Patrick Delkabie and Marthy Coumans.
