The album begins with the band’s last ever hit single “Oh Lord” (released on March 26,1973). “Oh Lord” made it to #14 in the Dutch charts, and was taken from the album ‘Ham’. This collection ends with songs from the albums At Home from 1969, and Scorpio’s Dance from 1970. The classic era for Shocking Blue, which produced the tracks that catapulted them to fame way beyond their native Holland. Fame that endures today, “Love Buzz” is now an acknowledged masterpiece, gaining cult status worldwide after Nirvana released it as a first single in 1988. “Love Buzz” has been covered dozens of times all over the world, and with the smash hit “Venus”, Robbie van Leeuwen remains the only Dutch composer to make it to #1 in the USA. That combination of great song-writing, the unique vocal talents of Mariska Veres and a super tight band has ensured that the name of Shocking Blue will live on forever. 2000 COPIES ONLY WORLDWIDE
