De afgelopen jaren was het
plaatje op de tweedehandsmarkt een eigen leven gaan leiden. Op eBay werden
er bedragen tot vijftig euro voor betaald. De rerelease vorig jaar deed
uiteraard wel wat stof opwaaien en resulteerde onder meer in een optreden
bij De Wereld Draait Door. Maar ook internationaal werd enthousiast gereageerd
op de Blondie-achtige sixtiespop uit Amsterdam. Vandaar dat het Japanse
poplabel Base nu een volledig album uitbrengt met historische opnames van
De Cylinders. Met drie singles, de b-kanten en enkele verspreid opgenomen
demo’s blijkt prima een volwaardige cd te kunnen worden gevuld. Heeft de
vaderlandse muziekwereld destijds echt zo zitten slapen? Eigenlijk wel.
Het debuutalbum van De Cylinders dat er nooit kwam, bevat namelijk behoorlijk
wat sterke popliedjes. There Goes Freddie Mercury en We Must Pay verschenen
op single, maar werden nooit op de radio gedraaid. Liedjes als Black And
White, Time For Dinner, Looking For Work en Tits And Bums hadden toen een
uitstekend debuutalbum kunnen vormen en maken dertig jaar later nog steeds
een leuke plaat.
In recent years, the picture
on the second-hand market had taken on a life of its own. On eBay,
sums of up to fifty Euros were paid for it on eBay. The re-release last
year did, of course, create caused a stir and resulted in an appearance
on De Wereld Draait Door. But there was also an enthusiastic international
response for the Blondie-like sixties pop from Amsterdam.
That is why the Japanese
pop label Base is now releasing a full album of historical recordings by
the Cylinders. With three singles, the b-sides and some demos recorded
in different places, it seems that a full CD can be filled perfectly. Did
the Dutch music world really sleep this late? Actually, it did. The Cylinders'
debut album, which never released, contains quite a few strong pop songs.
There Goes Freddie Mercury and We Must Pay appeared on single, but were
never played on the radio. Songs like Black And White, Time For Dinner,
Looking For Work and Tits And Bums could have made an excellent debut album
back then and still make an enjoyable record thirty years later.

COMMENT:
DUTCH
Arnie Treffers en Tony Britnell
werden, met Okkie Huysden, aangezocht om de derde single wat gepolijster
te laten klinken. Ze hebben niet meegespeeld of gezongen, maar wel flink
aan de knoppen gedraaid. Tony heeft ook een tekstflard geschreven van Freddie
Mercury nl. "Discount shopping it can't be". (Rene Demets van de Cylinders).
Alle songs De Cylinders,
behalve 3 (Charlie Rich) en 7 (Kris Moe)
UK
Arnie Treffers and Tony
Britnell, together with Okkie Huysden, were asked to make the third single
sound more polished. They did not play or sing along, but they did push
the buttons. Tony also wrote a fragment of the lyrics of Freddie Mercury,
"Discount shopping it can't be". (Rene Demets of the Cylinders).
All songs The Cylinders
except 3 (Charlie Rich) and 7 (Kris Moe).
