Homeland / Summer Is Here

For Record Store Day 2017, Music On Vinyl presents a unique double A - side split 7 - inch vinyl single. One side features 'Homeland' by Haarlem's Chef's Special. This high - energy track combines ska, reggae, funk, and pop elements. Formed in 2008, Chef's Special became the house band of the popular Dutch TV show 'De Wereld Draait Door' in 2011. Led by vocalist Joshua Nolet, the five - piece band has released two albums and three EPs and tours regularly. Flip the colored 7 - inch vinyl over, and you'll hear 'Summer is here' by The Outsiders with Wally Tax on vocals. Originally released in 1967, it reached #8 on the Dutch Singles chart and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. It's a classic of the 'Nederbiet' sound. The Outsiders gained fame as a support act for The Rolling Stones in 1966 in Holland, had several hits, released albums, and toured in various line - ups. Sadly, lead - singer and composer Wally Tax passed away in 2005.

This is a 7 - inch vinyl single. To use it, just place it on a turntable and let the needle drop gently on the groove to enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it in its sleeve when not in use to prevent scratches. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. And always be careful when flipping the record over to avoid any accidental damage.
