Recorded March 19, 1964 and released April 13, 1964 (Rush) Source: Warm Sounds 11 ------------------------ Ron de Valk - Guitar Dick Hanegraaff - Guitar Gerard Houthuizen - Bas Kees Zijdt - Drums This Rotterdam foursome made their debut in 1962 with an instrumental rock version of the children's song 't Robin taps aan het window. It wasn't a big hit, but every self-respecting instrumental retro band from the seventies and eighties had long ago, as it was renamed by the Explosions, in their repertoire. Explosions singles are especially popular with collectors, not only because of the great music, but also because one of their records: Harem, was released in the famous "Favorites Expres" series. In 1966 the single Explosion /10.32 was released where the b-side was the title song of the Dutch film of the same name, a thriller produced by the German-American film director Arthur Dreifuss, where the band members themselves also performed live. and subsequently acted as a background orchestra for singer Daniella from Leiden, who also sang a number of beat songs in the film. The singer was Eddie Becker, a well-known DJ and TV presenter in the 1970s. The band also regularly accompanied well-known vocalists such as Johnny Lion, Tony Light and Daniella. One of their last productions was the vocal I try to find, where the band - probably inspired by the song title - appeared on the cover wearing Sherlock Holmes checkered caps and magnifying glasses.
