Linda - Frank Boeijen Groep

Frank Boeijen has often expressed that he regretted recording 'Linda'. There was some pressure from the record company to finally come up with a hit single, and this repetitive piece of Dutch pop did the trick. The line 'Linda / Ik wil alles voor je doen' ('Linda / I'd do anything for you') is repeated more than a dozen times, and the verses are not very imaginative either.

'Linda', released in May 1983, reached number 28 in the Dutch Top 40 and gave the Frank Boeijen Groep their first hit single.

My collection: 7" single no. 348
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, 1985
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Linda' / 'Nachtportier'
