Fill Your Head With Rock (Side 3 & 4 )


Fill Your Head with Rock (1970) was the third release in the successful CBS Records Rock Machine UK budget sampler album series. It broke new ground, by extending the format to a double album, and also featured more UK artists than previous samplers.

Compiler David Howell (later Managing Director of Pete Waterman's PWL label) stated that while the earlier samplers were merely aimed at promoting specific full-price releases, this record was part of a major push to establish the label as "the top label in contemporary music" in the UK, and also to establish the market for double albums.

Seeda - De Bunder (sHeerArendskerke) 16-11-2025)

Een koude zondagmiddag,maar in de Yurt van De Bunder brande de kachel.De muzikanten van Seeda zorgeden voor een hartverwarmend optreden.Zeer genoten!

                                                                                 Encore

Het bijzondere aan Seeda: drie Mongoolse en één Iraanse muzikant bundelden zo'n 15 jaar geleden hun krachten en toeren sindsdien.over de hele wereld De muzikale crossover tussen deze muzikale werelden is fantastisch en wordt moeiteloos gerealiseerd  Dat en zowel boven- als ondertoonzang vloeien naadloos in elkaar over. De jarenlange tourervaring van de band is in positieve zin goed  te horen: hun timing en podiumpraat zijn perfect en soms erg grappig , ze boeiden het publiek vanaf het allereerste nummer. Het optreden eindigde met een staande ovatie.
