Catalog Number: MOVLP3865C Color: Green Format: LP UPC: 8719262037700 In between the Golden Earring albums Seven Tears and Together, both guitarist George Kooymans and singer Barry Hay worked on solo material. Kooymans' album Jojo was released in December 1971 and was the result of a sparkling and short period of recording sessions at the Phonogram Studio in Hilversum, where he recorded a collection of songs with some of the best Dutch session musicians - among guitarists Eelco Gelling (Cuby and Blizzards) and Hans Hollestelle and saxophone player Bertus Borgers (Sweet d'Buster). Thanks to the spontaneous recordings, the personal lyrics - with help from George's friends Bruce Kirkman and Jerry Voisin - and Harry van Hoof's string arrangements, 'Jojo' achieved a cult status and became a collectors' item soon after release. The album has been remastered from the original Phonogram Studio master tapes and includes a recent interview with George Kooymans about the making of Jojo.
