Kayak and Muziekkrant OOR

june 1973

 

In the 1970's and '80's 'Muziekkrant Oor' was one of the leading music magazines in Holland. Kayak manager Frits Hirschland often used Oor as a vehicle for Kayak (and for his other artists). Even before the first album was recorded, Frits made sure that Kayak was mentioned in the magazine. Sometimes with an aritcle or a review, sometimes with an advertisement. Some examples:

Above: "Recordings of first Kayak album almost finished". An article from july 1973. Some interesting 'facts' from this piece: the title of the debut LP will be "Forever Is A Lonely Thought"; the LP will have 9 songs, one of which is titled "Lovely Luna Reprise". The new single "Mammoth" will probably not be included on the LP, as it  is too "Alice Cooper-like" and will not fit with the other songs... All of this turned out differently in the end...

july 1973. Apparently, Kayak were a late addition to the Midsummer Pop Festival; earlier announcements did not feature Kayak
