Connie Boermans

Connie Boermans : Visit To Venus
Iris Records 15.026
Holland, 197x

My first fresh rip in about a year !

This LP is by an obscure hammond-led combo from Holland. There's very little information to go by. The cover or labels don't really mention an artist or group name, except "Arr.:Connie Boermans".

Iris Records seemed to run a line of shady Easy exploitation albums - most of which probably never made it across the border (Tijuana style gogo renditions of classical tunes, dixie band boogie cuts of biergarten evergreens,...)

Google Boermans, Iris or this LP and you'll find little of substance. In fact, the most complete write up is by Johan Dada Vis who runs the Exotiquarium pages and it was he who introduced me to the LP several years ago. It proved to be so elusive I didn't really believe I'd ever find my own copy. But recently a friendly record seller from Brussels (who is familiar with my tastes) recommended it to me. I took it off his hands quickly - such contacts must be honored.

Anyway, can't say you've learned much of substance here either, but at least below you can find a link and listen to the album for yourself.

Enjoy!
