SHOCKING BLUE-DREAM ON DREAMER-1973-FIRST PRESS GERMANY-POLYDOR-2459317. A very rare original album that was released only in Germany. "Dream On Dreamer" is the seventh album, released in 1973. The album is one of the band's most underrated albums, which is probably why it is not known to all fans of the band. This is completely undeserved, since it, in fact, includes no less interesting songs by Van Leeuwen than those that the musician wrote before. "Time Slips Away", "Diana in Her Dreams" and "Save Your Love" are the classic type of songs from earlier Shocking Blue. In addition, quite a big event in the development of the group is the piano ballad "Just a Song", on which Mariska Veres sang just fine, in the same key as in the ballad" I Like You "from the album" Inkpot "("Inkpot"). Initially, the album "Dream On Dreamer" came the firm "Pink Elephant" under the name "Ham", but as soon as he was released on the label "Polydor", the album includes the song "Dream On Dreamer", and the album changed the name and the cover too (Both versions differed more and some change in sostve songs, some were replaced with other, and order them on both discs differed). Since then, it has been known by this name. Robbie van Leeuwen left the band for good shortly after the release of "Dream On Dreamer", but several songs of his composition appeared on the next album "Good Times" (1974). ...more
