Bonus tracks on Present From Nancy CD (see Entry 5007).

1 Interviews with RJS

Notes: Part three (and one) of the second Supersister DVD (see Entry 5144): A 1971 VPRO telecast or a best of of sev. telecasts. Introduction of the musicians and interviews with all four members. With small snippets of band rehearsals, a radio interview, piano demonstrations by RJS, etc.

The retsisrepus site has with “Supersister on the road” a part of this telecast as bonus. But the audio track is different. The original sounds are replaced by Seven Ways To Die (S).

CD *m*a*n* Memories Are New (SOSS 55 23272, late 2000)

Notes: Songs 6-12 on the CD. Song 1 is an instrumental. Recorded with the Tanz- and Unterhaltungsorchester of the NDR.

It’s said that most songs were especially written and arranged for that event.

CD liner notes: 4-10-1971 (= 4^th Oct. 1971?)

Supersister site – 1971: 10^th May. “NDR radio opnamen” No town given. (There were concerts on the 6^th May in Hamburg and on the 7^th May in Bremen.)

Supersister site - 1971: 4^th & 5^th Oct. 1971 in Hamburg. NDR Radio Studio.

Stips site: Recorded in Bremen. ((Today the NDR Studio is in Hamburg))

Finally I got it! There were two pictures on the Supersister DoDVD (“Supersister Last Picture Show / 1970-73”): “Opnamen met orkest – Hamburg – 6. Okt. 71” and “NDR Studio Hamburg – 5. Okt. 71”. On the 3^rd, they had a gig in the Netherlands, then, on the 4^th, they travelled with the equipment in their van to Hamburg, were in the studio on the 4^th and 5^th and travelled on the 6^th to Bremen.

Gonna Take Easy (Band, H. van Oosterhout)/Fancy Nancy (S) (Polydor 2050 048, Sept. (?) 1970?)

Notes: Most probably released before the LP. Cover and label stated Fancy Nancy as being on the A-side, but according to the lyrics, the song on the A-side is Gonna Take Easy. Same mix-up on LP (and CD) Superstarshine (see Entry 5017).

1 Sweet Suicide 2 Present From Nancy (both: E+S) 3 Interview with .?. 4 A Girl Named You (S) 5 Interview ctd. 6 Mexico (S)/ 7 Metamorphosis (S)/ 8 Eight Miles High (S)

Notes: Two recording dates are circulating: 5^th Feb. (5/2/71) and 2^nd May (2/5/71)! 13^th May is most probably the date of the VPRO radio broadcast. Interview recorded live in the studio or prerecorded?

Song 3 re-broadcast on 31^st August 2008 in Radio BRTO’s “Paperlate” (Nederpopclassics No. 572). Song listed as being from Baarn. Taken from a CDR, VPRO TV (!!) Special 1971, track 4. According to the retsisrepus site, VPRO recorded a show at Baarn’s Groeneveld Castle for this broadcast, but the tour list of the Supersister site doesn’t mention a Baarn show, neither in 1970 nor 1971. But on the 5^th Febr., a TV show is listed: VPRO televisie. On the 2^nd May, no gig is listed. Other sources mention a VPRO telecast ((!)) in February 1971, resp. on 5^th Febr. 1971.

Songs 2 (Introduction + PFN) and 4 released on an illegal (?) CDR “live in Baarn & Meerlo. Sources are VPRO recordings. (See Entry 5015C, and with 5 singles)

you”. Although they recorded Wow for a single release in 1973, it’s an old song. See Entry 5006.).

5008E 31.5.71: Damensportpark Geleen, Burg ("Pinkpop")

you”. Although they recorded Wow for a single release in 1973, it’s an old song. See Entry 5006.).

According to RJS, they were working on this project with the Nederlandse Danstheater for about a year. Working title was “Signalen”. Danstheater director was Walter Nobbe, choreographer Frans Vervenne. Premiere on the 3rd March 1972 at the Circusgebouw, Scheveningen. With Supersister playing live. Were there more performances with the Danstheater?

1 Interview with RJS

2 Oohwee I Love You Baby (S?)

Notes: Song 2: Band performance of this “hidden track” of PeG LP. ((Or did they play Wow or the “I Love You” part of that song?)). They played this song instead of the expected hit Radio.

5017A+ -> 5017AB+ 20.3.73: Radio studio, London (?) (UK): "John Peel Sessions" (BBC)

A single was announced but most prob. never released. Songs were Europe on 5, 10 or 20 Dollars A Day parts 1 and 2. On a website, even a cat. number is given with Pol. 2050 232. A mistake because the band which recorded Wow (Pol. 2050 244) wasn’t the new band??

Bagoas (S+E)/Memories Are New (Band 2) (Pol. 2050 272, Sept. 1973)

Notes: A-side: Different from LP version. Produced by Hans van Oosterhout, not Georgio Gomelski who was the LP producer. As the new band was formed in August 1973, it’s a August or September session in a Dutch studio.

Released in September. With 4 musicians on single cover: RJS, RvE, CM, HvB. I have no clue if the Rainbow Studio was the right name or a another nice description of the Phonogram Studios?

Bonus tracks on Iskander CD (see Entry 5019).

Notes: Broadcast by Radio Luxembourg.
