CUBY + BLIZZARDS-APPLEKNOCKERS FLOPHOUSE-1969-THE FIRST UK PRESS-PHILIPS SBL7918. Mega rare British original blues monsters. In the spring of 1969, CUBY and THE BLIZZARDS toured the Netherlands with FLEETWOOD MAC, and in August went on a tour of the UK, where she also managed to perform at the prestigious Marquee Club. But, despite the very successful tour and the increasing popularity of the band, it soon had serious problems with the composition. Van Eyck left for TRACE, and Dick Beckman moved to LIVIN ' BLUES, and in addition to everything, Herman Brood had problems with the law – he was arrested in The Hague for drug possession, and he also had to leave the band. Masks and Gelling completed the line-up with natives of the BLUES DIMENSION group Herman Deinum, Hans Lafaille, Helmig Van Der Vegt. The album “Appleknockers Flophouse”was recorded in this line-up. Musically, the album was noticeably different from the previous ones. The record turned out to be more rock and hard, and Gelling's guitar solos, as always turned out to be on top, are more convex and pronounced.
