The Black Knights (2)

The band existed from 1961 to 1966 and actuated in the area of Haarlem/Heemstede (Holland). The music style was mainly Beatles, Shadows, popular rock etc. The band members were: Co Erbrink, (my brother) drums, Louis Kloes rhythm guitar, Peter Obdam bass guitar and myself lead guitar. In 1963 we got an offer from the dance-studio "Griffioen" in Haarlem to cut a record. It was our bass player Peter Obdam who wrote "Blue Dream" (a Shadow-like instrumental) and a beatsong "Little Girl". It was a sort of a publicity-act and the records were used as give-aways for new sign-ups to the dance-school. I can´t remember how many records were pressed, but it should be around 500 or 1000 copies at the most. In 1992 a Danish band "The Blue Stars" rerecorded the title Blue Dream on Rarity Records (catalog number C192463). - Stan Erbrink
