De beloning - Frank Boeijen Groep

In 1986, the Frank Boeijen Groep switched record labels before they released their sixth album, 'In natura'. The first single from the album was 'De beloning' ('The reward'), a track that sounded a bit like their second biggest hit, 'Kronenburg park'. Like that single, this track featured a group of black women on backing vocals, while the instrumentation relied less on synthesizers and more on acoustic instruments.

The new sound paid off: 'De beloning' reached number 24 in the Dutch Top 40. The album version was considerably longer than the single version, which faded out at 5 minutes.

My collection: 7" single no. 406
Found: Free Record Shop, Den Haag, 1986
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'De beloning' / 'Volle maan'
