Original released on LP Vogue CDMDINT 9796
(GERMANY, 1970)
An extraordinary
collection of late 60’s freakbeat and pop psych produced by a stellar studio
cast. The wunderkind producer Mark Wirtz was a
driving force behind this project from 1969-1971, along with co-writer and
artist Kris Ife. Ife
brought in the musicians to bring these studio creations to life, and he drew
on his old band The Quiet Five’s Richard Barnes and Roger McKew, plus Roger
Favell and Miki Anthony. Many of the songs were concocted by German songwriter
and publisher Rudi Lindt for his own company Minerva Music. With International production deals in
place for Vogue, Belter, Penny Farthing,
CBS, Chapter One the team had their productions released as singles under an
eclectic variety of names. Even as far away as Discos Fermata in
Argentina! One LP was released under The Matchmakers
name collecting many of these singles together in 1970 in Germany, (even if the
single had been under another artist name), and with a slightly different
tracklist in 1971 in other territories.
