A Danish progressive act recorded live in West-Germany on the MPS label (usually
a Jazz label)
They started out in 1963 as The Dragons with covers of The Rolling Stones, The
Beatlesα They earned a reputation and played in a lot of places locally. Around
1965 they changed their style and name. The Maxwells were born.
In late 1966 some members appeared in The beggars opera and Superman, stage
plays in Denmark.
In 1967 , they acclaimed the first psychedelic show in Denmark called WE, a
collage of scenes and songs. At the time with a very sensational light show, all
handmade with gramophone motors, old glass ans slide projectors.
They collaborated with contemporary composer Per Norgaard, who wrote some songs
for the group.
In 1967, they had their first TV appearance. This was a real success, followed
by a radio broadcasting and interviews in the magazines.
Late 1967, they recorded their first single flower powder/what did she do?
(sonet 7250).
Succesful touring and theatre appearences followed.
Their show opened with a recital of Dada poetry, slowly developping in a wild
climax some 40 minutes later. The crowd loved it.
In the beginning of 1969 the German critic, Joachim Ernst Behrendt, heard the
band play. He signed them to make the above LP.
The session took 4 days and was recorded in Villingen, Germany.
This is a real example of European psychedelica. Get out the incense and
candles, bells and paint everything purple and pink.
Remastered Version with Bonus, Tracks 6-9.
