Product Description
CD Description
The American writer Richie Unterberger called them not just
the finest Dutch group of the '60s, but the finest group from a
non-English speaking country, period.
Holland's Outsiders have a posthumous reputation that grows
and grows. Their 1968 album CQ was a benchmark, one of the
greatest albums of the late '60s from anywhere.
RPM International is proud to issue the legendary CQ on CD
outside the Netherlands for the first time. Staggeringly it
apparently sold just 500 copies when it was originally
released.
Our package carries bonus tracks from a professionallyrecorded
1968 concert of CQ material at The Fanstasio, in
Amsterdam, their home town, by radio station VPRO.
As important as other belatedly-recognised classics like The
Zombies' Odessey and Oracle, The Pretty Things' SF Sorrow
and The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society, CQ was
made by a band with their own identity. As influenced by the
music of front-man Wally Tax's Russian heritage as Jacques
Brel, songs like Daddy Died On Saturday , have the intensity
of White Light White Heat Velvet Underground. Prison Song
is the atmospheric equal of The Doors' The End .
Mike Stax, the editor of Ugly Things magazine, long-time
Outsiders' champion and friend of the band has contributed
liner notes. With its iconic original cover art, this is the
definit ive reissue of CQ.

Format:Audio CD
Marco Van Basten is one of the finest footballers to ever grace the planet. Born in th dutch city Utrect in 1964, Van Basten went on to play for Ajax Amsterdam & AC Milan. He played a total of 280 club games and scored 218 goals in the process. During his club career he amassed a total of 19 medals including 2 European Cups (now known as The Champions League) and 6 league wins (3 Eredivisie titles with Ajax & 3 Serie A titles with Milan). For the dutch national team he garnered a total of 58 caps (24 goals) and was an integral part of the UEFA European Championship winning side of 1988. But for all this success Van Basten will always be remembered for one moment of genius in the 1988 European Championship final against USSR. When Arnold Muhren's deep cross reaches Van Basten on the edge of the 18 yard box it seems that he does'nt have the angle to beat the Soviet Union's goalkeeper, but with pristine technique he manages to loop the ball over the goalies head and score the ultimate winning goal of the tournament. A legend summed up in one moment of pure genius.
The same could well be said for Amsterdam's finest musical export, The Outsiders (Wally Tax/vocals, Ronnie Splinter/guitar, Appie Rammers/bass, Tom Krabbendem/guitar, Leendert Busch/drums and Frank Beek/guitar). The group released 3 records in their time (1967's 'Outsiders' & 'Songbook' LP's being the other 2) but it is surely with 1968's 'CQ' that they will always be remembered. A slice of pure hard-edged rock 'n' roll inspired by groups such as The Pretty Things & The Small Faces, 'CQ' may well be the most underrated LP of all time. An otherwise fine career summed up by one moment of pure genius.
'CQ' is an astonishing listen. From it's brash & confident opener ('Misfit') to it's atmospheric closing ('Prisonsong') it incurs moments of true spine-tingling dynamics (just listen out for the moment 2 minutes into 'I Love You No 2' when the song changes direction completely, blossoming into a beautiful melody that The Beach Boys would have been proud to have produced) mixed with pure blood-lust. The album recalls artists as varied as The Velvet Underground, Jacques Brel, Love & The Go Betweens. It is a lost psyche classic which deserves to be mentioned alongside landmark releases such as 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake' or 'Forever Changes'.
'Not just the finest Dutch group from a non-English speaking country but the finest group from a non-English speaking country, period'
