A long time I'm looking for
The Hunters - Russian Spy And I (1966/1983)

At about this time, aged 18, he recorded his first album, "Talent for sale". This album mainly consists of covers of famous R&B and rock'n'roll hits such as "What'd I say", "Green Onions" and "Mercy Mercy".

Thank you !
ReplyDeleteCould you upload the "Complete Hunters" as well ? I guess it contains the original 60`s recordings ?!
These recordings are nice, too, but they`re from the seventies I think.
Furthermore, I don`t mind how low the bitrates are (it`s like scratchy vinyl- far better than nothing at all).
Cheers,
Joey

EV, Thank you friend ! It was full set of Hunters.
ReplyDeletethis is a crappy reunion album, without Jan Akkerman. I remember ordering it and throwing it away after I discovered the lame interpretations of these suckers
