1989
Spo-Dee-O-Dee, were, with their average age of 19 years, the teenagers of the so-called 'Amsterdam Guitar School.' Fore-runners were Fatal Flowers and still active Claw Boys Claw. The year, and yes the title of this album: '1989.' The band is making a latterday return visit to their first label: Utrecht's Kelt Records. The track 'Girl In The Park' was originally released on a compilatiom EP and the debut single 'Stand Up' was a big radio hit with the alternative radio programme 'Nozems-A-Gogo' and enjoyed heavy rotation on national radio. And heavy was the word for this power trio. Influenced by seventies rockbands but always with an ear for what was going on at the time. On this CD of their first recordings, you'll hear the three released single-sides, five previously unreleased tracks and two alternative versions of songs they recorded for the debut album 'Going Walkabout.'
