D'r echt Pop

In 1984, D’r echt (P)op was released thanks to Angelo Noce Santoro and the Popkollektief Dordrecht. This remarkable document captured a vivid picture of the pop music scene in Dordrecht at that time. Now, almost 40 years later, Sheephead Records brings this record back to life – this time digitally – so that the music from Dordrecht’s 1980s scene is once again available for future generations. Together with the Drechtstreek-LP from 1978 and Rondje Dordt – Pop uit de Drechtstreek from 1998, this release offers a wonderful overview of the vibrant pop scene that Dordrecht was and still is rich in. We wish you much listening pleasure!

– Liner notes from the original LP –

This LP gives, in our opinion, a good picture of the pop music scene from the Dordrecht region. We are convinced that the listener will enjoy this album. Chances are you’ll hear more from the groups featured here, if not through your stereo, then perhaps live!! The nail has been hit on the head, a fine document is presented. For fans and collectors a varied LP, for programmers: do something with it!!
