sound of imker train of doomsday/see those girls 7

here's a weird one for you. sound of imker was from holand and recorded this single in 1969. it was released but i'm guessing in very small numbers. it flopped. wonder why. it's a great record but probably just wasn't right for the time. had this been released in the 80s it would have been well received i think. jello biafra called it the first hardcore record. it really does sound like punk before punk. train of doomsday has a great beat. the singer isn't melodic at all but that's part of the fun. the quality of this record is well...the sound sounds like as one guy put it "a secondhand demo" but it's still a fun record. see those girls at first would seem to be the weakest track. but it's got a great solo and an even more unmelodic vocal performance. i know that imker was the last name of the two brothers. and one overdoced in the 80s. shame that. this band was way ahead of its time. this makes me think how many more records like this exist? obscure records that were fast before fast was cool. the best way is to get this off youtube now that both songs are up. i think this is on some compilation but i'm not sure. you need this if you're a fan of obscure music. not only is it obscure but....it's good too.
