Description
You're bidding on a copy of the rare 4PK - down and out 7" vinyl is very good (small unhearable marks plays without pops & crackles and doesnt skip), sleeve has some wear but is still in good condition.
"Down and out" by Eindhoven's 4PK is simply stunning, fuzz-driven stomping freakbeat that will now be on many people's wants list. 4PK was a temporarily-one off shoot of famous Dutch rockers Peter and his Rockets, who released Holland's first and foremost single "Kom van dat dak af" in 1959. A string of hits followed:" Marijke", "De hele stad is gek en dol" and "Jenny", selling tens of thousands of records. In 1965, Peter Koelewijn started production work (a.o. Q 65's "You're the victor") , renamed his band 4PK and started playing the weekends when he was not working in his studio. The band's Stones -cover "As tears go by" became a mini-hit, but freakbeat insiders know that the band's finest hour is this exploding fuzzguitar. Being a promotional single for Crespa chips, it was not for sale in the shops. The only way to obtain the single was by cutting out 2 stars from a Crespa chips bag and paying 2,25guilders. The regular price of a single back then was 4,50 guilders. A bit confusing: on most copies of this single has been stamped: "Technische School Hilversum" on the label, so many collectors assume that this school released the record.
