Nights At The Roundtable - The Motions - 1967

(The Motions - Dutch Psychedelia you probably never heard of)
The Motions were a big deal in Holland from 1963-1971. During their Beat phase they were produced by none other than Scott Walker (of the Walker Brothers) for several singles. And their label, Philips had issued their last album in the States to very little notice. They are all but unknown in the States and really only known by collectors even in Europe.
This track "Wonderful Impressions" comes from their psychedelic period from 1967. It was short lived, but it did yield some interesting tracks, even though their label decided it would be a good idea to mix a fake audience in (think: John's Childrens infamous Orgasm album with overdubbed audience). It doesn't seem to serve a purpose, but luckily it doesn't detract from what is a very nice track.

Thanks so much for this site. Both the news and the music are a great way to look back at how we came to be where we're at.
I may have mentioned this before but a friend has a 12 year old son who's school is doing a study of the history of Rock and Roll throughout this school year and I highly recommended he check out Newstalgia's Nights at the Roundtable.
Thanks so much as always! I'm wondering if I should start putting up some really early rock n' roll. He might get a kick out of it. Let me work on that.
