Verkeerd om terug te kijken - Boeijen en Pennings

You can bet that there are loads of people in the Netherlands desperately searching for this single, willing to pay a small fortune for it too. Meanwhile, I accidentally found it in a second hand shop in 1991 for the equivalent of 1 euro.

'Verkeerd om terug te kijken' ('Wrong to look back') is the only single released by the Dutch duo Frank Boeijen and Wout Pennings. They met in 1977 and recorded and released one album in 1978. They were picked up by the Dutch record label CNR, which enabled them to re-record the album, which like this single was released in 1979. Both the album and the single flopped, but Frank Boeijen went on to form the Frank Boeijen Groep and had a lot of success during the Eighties, after which he went solo, founding a career that is still going strong now.

My collection: 7" single no. 1494
Found: H. v.d. Horst, Den Haag, July 18, 1991
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Verkeerd om terug te kijken' / 'De zee'
