Sound of Imker

Sound of Imker originates from Assen, were they started in the spring of 1968. They play several gigs in the Netherlands, but also in Germany and Danmark. Record company Phonogram wants them to record a single in 1969. The a-side, "Train of doomsday", is about the destruction of the earth. The single was however never available in the shops, because Phonogram didn't like it. Remco Imker took all the singles with him. For a short period Homan is replaced by Rein Strating. Due to financial problems the band stops. Tokkel Imker would later play in Flash and Dance Band (Herman Brood) and Roccayle. He became a drug and alcohol addict, and wandered in Assen. He died in 2001. Remco Tokkel plays in several local bands. Paul Reijters would play in Phoenix.

Hard hitting 60s band from the northern parts of Holland. Their one and only single was pure speedy garage rock. The story goes that they were so fed up with the disappointed record company, they threw the already pressed 1000 copies in some meadow. That's the reason you will hardly find an original copy. Since there were no pictures of this band available an image from a 60s concert poster was used for the back side. One of the best singles to come out of Holland ever.
