The Hunters - Russian Spy And I

A long time I'm looking for








The Hunters - Russian Spy And I (1966/1983)


The Hunters was the first group which brought Akkerman success outside Amsterdam. His virtuoso guitar lick in their hit single, "Russian spy and I" brought him instant recognition all over Holland. 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".




Formed 1965, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

Disbanded 1968

Jan Akkerman (guitar), Paul Hubert (guitar, vocals), Sidney Wachtel (drums), Ron Bijtelaar (bass, 1966-68)

  2. Thank you !

    Could 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
