EPYSODE 88: Present From Nancy by Supersister.
Guest: Supersister bandleader Robert Jan Stips.
Additional commentary by The Psychedelic Wizard, Uncle Herff.
This week we step into the adventurous world of Dutch progressive rock as we explore Present From Nancy, the remarkable 1970 debut album by Supersister. Blending Canterbury-inspired experimentation, jazz-infused musicianship, quirky humour, and dazzling instrumental interplay, the album stands as one of the most imaginative and overlooked progressive rock releases of the early ’70s. In this epysode, we unpack the album’s unique sound and lasting influence on European prog music. Best of all, this epysode features exclusive commentary from Supersister founder Robert Jan Stips (aka "The Magician of Dutch Pop"), who shares firsthand stories about the making of the album and how it helped define the sound of Dutch progressive rock.
I hope you dig Present From Nancy as much as I do.
