Venus - Shocking Blue (Completed)

Protis - Hey Alan let's do something whenever you are free and as long as I am able...

Thanks Frank! I agree with everything you said. I feel I always say similar things abiut your amazing guitar playing but hey, you're so consistently great on all our collabs that I feel boring in my praises LOL. You never fail to amaze me my friend. I'll suggest a mix later to dial down the keys a tiny bit...

sounds great

Thanks for another great collab, Frank.

Super great collab indeed everyone, I'm proud of being part of this team ! ;) well done everyone !

@camillesobud: Love how thx1138 kept your boogie moves in his animated GIF

@Eric (@pcderic) : ah ah ah ! Yes I saw that too !

Thank you :) tried my best as you did all !!

Hi Frank, thanks for the call out. I added it in my TODOs.

@Eric (@pcderic) : You've Got It ! Yah Baby You've Got It ! LOL !

Great collab by all I must say!

Hi there Frank. I submitted an E.Piano track. Let me know if I have something to adjust on my end. I'll let you do your mixing. I think that you could probably widen the sound by panning some stuff left and right a bit?

@Eric (@pcderic) : Shocking Keys ! Now thats rockin' ! Thanks so much ! Well played and great sound ! I panned my rhythm guitar and your keys 30% L/R.....How does it sound to you ?

@thx1138: Sounds great Frank. It adds something subtle that makes it more feel finished. Everything sounds great actually. Again, for me, camillesobud is a cool discovery. The voice, the tone and the bonus echo in the Bridge, so awesome. Super cousine!

@thx1138: Hi Frank, I suggested a mix but you're welcome to disregard it.

Revup67 - Interesting trivia. Thanks for sharing. For Golden Earring I do not think I know any song other than ‘Radar Love’ ?? I have to admit that I thought ‘Venus’ was an original song when the Banarama version came out in the 80s. I did not really like that song and only now have I learned that it was a remake. IMO this original by Shocking Blue is great. Far better than that cheesey 80’s thing. Other than this song I do not think I know any Shocking Blue tracks ? Thanks for the very nice words and checking out the collab.

@thx1138: Frank, when you have a chance give the song "Hot Sand" a listen as well as "Send Me A Postcard". Yeah Bananarama ruined the tune for sure. The guitairst Robbie van Leeuwen was quite a superstar in Holland. His prior work with the Motions in particular the song "For Another Man" is a classic. He's had quite a career. As for Golden Earring they began in 1965 with their first LP and their styles changes over the many decades. The 1968 LP On The Double is likely my fave as it's so diverse start to finish and it's Barry Hay's first LP with the band (he's the singer on Radar Love). Their all acoustic CD"s called Naked Truth 1, 2 and 3 are all worthy from the early to late 90s. Quite a history they have and considered Holland's Beatles. Yes, I'm addicted!
