Scheelings, Pim
Q65: The Book
ENGLISH VERSION. 208 pages with tons of rare photos, interviews and discography. The five original members of Q65 first
banded together in The Hague in the Netherlands in 1965. Joop Roelofs, Frank Nuyens, Willem Bieler, Peter Vink and Jay
Baar were an unlikely, often volatile gang of outcasts and misfits, but with their raw, unconventional music and rowdy,
unkempt image they quickly built up a large and fiercely loyal following. Their first record, "Youre the Victor," kicked
off a string of hit singles for the group including "The Life I Live," "From Above" and "World of Birds." Their 1966
debut LP, Revolution, sold over 50,000 copies, topping the Dutch album charts ahead of new releases by the Rolling
Stones, the Troggs and the Animals.
By 1969 it had all fallen apart, but in the few short years they were together Q65 recorded some truly extraordinary
music. They continue to be regarded, quite rightly, as one of the great, unsung bands of the era. Pim Scheelings has
captured their story in all its strange, stoned, comical, complicated, tragic glory-the drink, the drugs, the fights
and, of course, the music-all discussed and dissected in frank, often brutally honest words by the surviving band
members and their collaborators. This is the story of Q65: no punches pulled-the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
