The Last Seven Days/ The Merry Dance

This is a new, unplayed promo copy, in its original picture sleeve. This Holland band straddled the line between power pop and progressive rock, but outside of their native Holland, they didn't have much success in either genre. Their fellow countrymen Shocking Blue, Tee Set, and George Baker Selection all crossed over to the U.S. in a fairly big way, but even though Unit Gloria toured here, they didn't make much of an impression. That's too bad, because as evidenced by this single, they had a lot of great musical and lyrical ideas. Perhaps they were just a bit too cerebral  and not quite so talented with the proverbial great pop hook? This 1969 single is well worth seeking out, with two great sides.
