this was a non LP song for the Shocking Blue. It appeared only as a B Side of their hit single Venus in 1970. Released in the US on the Colossus label. They were a Dutch rock band.
The Fuzz guitar on this track sets all standards.

Wait til you hear it now..took the audio track Offline and really pumped it up with 2 different vocal plates, Expander and other goodies. Also add some Hot Sand Graphix..she did such a great job..nothing out of key.

Super good mix and visual effets ah ah ! I still hear a slight désynchronisation between the vocals and the BT ...? But not sure... Anyway you did a great job too with all the sounds effets, reverbs, etc. Good job with the guitar Frank !!!

@camillesobud: thank you Camille. I left the starting point of your vocals at 0.00 since I lined up the backing track with your vocals Offline in my DAW. I though it sounded good. What offset would you like?

@Revup67: @thx1138 Frank can you chime in on your thoughts on the vocal sync? Just tried listening again and it sounds quite good.

@Revup67: camillesobud - Hey friends ! Thanks for the nice comments. Great job both on the vocals and visuals. I am listening and do not hear any issues atm ? Once Anthony uploads his awesome drums perhaps then we can re-evaluate ?

@Revup67: You're right, the slight synch issue I heard was between the vocals and the BT, but it seems the guitar and the sitar are sync with the vocals so after re-listening it sounds good. Sorry ! Can't wait to hear it with the drums !

3-13-26 Sitar track completed (first ever). Had to figure what scale this was performed in by Robbie van Leeuwen (original guitarist). Certainly not in a Chromatic scale though the minor scale was close. Turns out Indian instruments use a variety of scales (about 10) that we're likely not familiar with. This was track was done using the Kafi Scale in the root of A for anyone interested. Real Sitar samples were used for this track. Thanks to Frank for assisting with a chunk of the notes. Rev..

@thx1138: Likely the best sounding Fuzz guitar on all of Band Hug since Day 1. Can't live without daily Fuzz Guitar. Great work Frank and that clean guitar part is so precise sound and playing wise. The video effects with the cell phone ending was hilarious!
