Description
2022 re-issue.
Formed late 1968 in Bonn, West Germany, Hairy Chapter intended to create a kind of white blues, playing own material with a permanent rock feeling, influenced by John Mayall, Cream and Jimi Hendrix but spiced up with its own ingredients. According to the band not only the Bonn music scene was enthusiastic about the band, but also a certain young Dieter Dierks was impressed and offered the band to record their first album in his new little studio, a former pigsty in Cologne-Stommeln, a rural setting north of Cologne, Germany. Their first album ‘Eyes’ was released in 1969.
Just after the release of the second album ‘Can’t Get Through’ in the middle of 1971, the group called it a day. ‘Eyes’ is an early classic of German independent underground music. A real monster of sound. A must have for your collection. The album was remastered and comes with 2 bonus tracks recorded live at BFBS Radio Studio Cologne in 1969, reissued for the first time. There is also a 4-sided cover sized insert sheet with story and many photos. Don’t miss it!
