Jan Akkerman in 1968 – before the storm … His solo debut “Talent For Sale” (Imperial 1968) has been reissued by Esoteric (ECLEC 2309, 2012-01) with a well documented 16 page booklet … but without Hunters bonus tracks, sadly. The lp counts eleven tracks, two of which are originals, most notably “Revival of the cat”. The two covers of Booker T & the MG’s originals are the highlights: “Slim Jenkins’ place” (sic, 1967) and “Green onions” (1962). Akkerman also covers Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” (sic) of which Booker T & the MG’s have recorded a most sophisticated (instrumental) version – see http://uzine.posterous.com/goin-crazy-over-booker-t

Some tracks off Flower Machine‘s first vinyl outing, viz. “Fading Yellow (Timeless Pop-Sike And Other Delights – Euro 45s 1968-1972)” (2011-11, cat. no. FYLP001, limited edition of 300 copies, yellow vinyl, no inserts, 16 tracks). Way too expensive, imnsho … hence anxious to learn how forthcoming the price setting of the announced “Spanish Popsike And Other Delights” lp will be. Too greedy isn’t cool, Mr. Swede! [Below: “Nothing today” by Barry Fantoni (1966).]
