Shocking Blue war eine holländische Rockband aus Den Haag, die in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere war und groÃ?e Erfolge über den Atlantik hinweg feierte. Die Band wurde 1967 gegründet und entwickelte sich, nachdem sie die Sängerin Mariska Veres rekrutiert hatten, schnell zu einem internationalen Top-Act. Mit ihrer Single "Venus" erreichten sie als erste niederländische Band den ersten Platz der amerikanischen Billboard Hot 100. Shocking Blue hatten noch eine Reihe von weiteren groÃ?en Hits, dennoch entschied sich die Band 1975 dazu, ihre Karriere zu beenden. Ihr Einfluss reichte weit über ihre Generation hinaus: sogar Bands wie Nirvana und The Prodigy bedienten sich bei Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz". â??3rd Albumâ??, das ursprünglich 1971 veröffentlicht wurde, ist seltsamerweise nicht wirklich das 3. sondern bereits das 4. Full-Length Werk der Band. Diese Music On Vinyl Sonder-Auflage kommt mit 6 Bonus-Tracks, bestehend aus Singles und B-Seiten und ist auf 1.500 einzeln nummerierte LPs auf TURQUOISE Vinyl limitiert. - 180 GRAM PRESSING / GATEFOLD SLEEVE / 6 BONUSTRACKS
Shocking Blue was a Dutch rockband from The Hague that was at their peak in the sixties and seventies and gained major cross-Atlantic success. The band was founded in 1967 and after recruiting vocalist Mariska Veres they soon became huge. With their single 'Venus' they became the first Dutch band ever to reach the first spot on the American Billboard Hot 100. The band had a series of subsequent hits but decided to call it a day in 1975. Their influence reached well beyond their generation: even bands like Nirvana and The Prodigy used Shocking Blue's 'Love Buzz'. '3rd Album' is strangely enough not their third full-length album but their fourth and was originally released in 1971. This reissue comes with six bonus tracks consisting of singles and b-sides and a gatefold sleeve.

It sounds better than I expected. What a great pressing with very nitid acoustics, was gladly surprised.
The Shocking Blue was a band with leanings to publish singles, which were barely included in their albums. This edition contains three at the end of each side, including the famous "Never Marry a Railroad Man" that brought me long faded memories and nostalgia. But the album tracks are excellent, especially those on side B.
A Must have record.
