Here's the very first legit LP reissue of Jenghiz Khan's sole album with reproduction of the original sleeve and including 6 beautiful "unseen before" b/w photos of the band.
The band was formed in 1970. Jenghiz Khan were
short-lived but their "Well Cut" has long been in demand among collectors. This
contained the archetypical heavy progressive rock of the times, sometimes
similar to Uriah Heep and May Blitz.
This remarkable band formed in the
southern part of Belgium in 1970, out of the ashes of "The Tim Brean Group" and
"Les Partisans"...
Rapsat was the last one to be recruited to make up the
numbers. He came from an outfit who just released an lp : "Laurelie". Also in
his previous band "Tenderfoot Kids" ( 'played on 4 singles) he proved to be an
excellent song writer. But, as the music for Jenghiz Khan was already written,
Rapsat handled only bass-duties here. Not only the band members themselves were
the composers but also their manager, the well known
(T?l?moustic)rock-journalist Pierre "Piero" Kenroll, wrote all lyrics and one
complete song.
So an album (Well Cut) was released quite quickly and sounded
very heavy but full of dynamics. Some longer songs gave the band a real
adventurous feel, and unveiled possible influences from "Iron Butterfly" and
"Vanilla Fudge". Rapsat's bass-playing was upfront in the mix, so that even now
"Well Cut" sounds quite fresh!
In their relatively short history the band
had a good live-reputation and so they did play a lot of gigs and festivals.
Most important once were when they're on the same billing as: "Wallace
Collection" (puzzle P in june 1970), "Black Sabbath" (rock Bilzen august 1970),
"Yes" (pop hot show Huy on Sept. 5th, 1970), "Stray" (Ghent festival on Nov.
28th,1970), "The Tremelous" (Grand Place Ciney on July 11th, 1971) and "Genesis"
at the Jemelle festival on August 8th, 1971.
Some new material was written in
1971 but however, the outfit would eventually drift apart due to the lack of
improvement abroad.
Rapsat started a very successful solo career (first with
English, than later on with French lyrics) and made a lot of pop/"chanson"
albums. Unfortunately he passed away on April 21, 2002 at age 53.
Brean
joined "The Pebbles" and played organ with them from 1974 till 1976 while he
also composed a lot of songs by order of record company "Barclay". Later he
tried his luck as a solo artist under the name "Tim Turcksin" but only managed
to release a few songs on compilation albums.
Friswa joined "Wallace
Collection", was later successful with pop band "Two Man Sound" but also issued
two solo singles.
Unfortunately he passed away in 1988. - (Belgian Metal
