Pim and Rob V. in Concrete
After "The Last Encore", Pim Koopman left Kayak, only to return in 1999. Between 1977 and 1999, Pim was involved in many solo projects. Best known are The President (with Okkie Huysdens) and Diesel, with Rob Vunderink. However, before Diesel, Pim and Rob had already worked together. In 1977 they released a single under the name Concrete. The single was titled "Oh Lord" (by Rob Vunderink), and the b-side was "Stop Wastin' Your Time" (by Pim Koopman). I guess Rob sang lead vocals and played guitar, whereas Pim probably did drums, keyboards and backing vocals...
I never had this single in my collection, until recently. In one of my favourite record shops in Utrecht, I found it for 50 eurocent. The single is not in perfect condition, and it comes without the picture sleeve. But of course I am happy to have it anyway!

Goh zeg, ze hebben zoveel uitgevoerd naast al het bekende werk... en meestal is het nog de moeite waard ook nog. Echt jammer dat projecten als Diesel, The President en nu dit nog allemaal in de vergetelheid raken. Zeg, zou je mij via de mail blij willen maken met de audio van het singeltje? Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe het klinkt...

Tuurlijk, "Airhead". Wil je me voor de zekerheid even een mailtje sturen met je eigen mailadres? Ik weet niet of mijn mailtjes aankomen als ik ze naar jouw Blogger-nickname stuur...
