Originally this was only scheduled for release in Holland. But the overwhelming success got the label wondering if maybe an international release should be considered, Apart from the great music (composed and sung by Jeff Mitchell) the colorful artwork was one of the reasons this release got so much attention that the first run of vinyl already sold out before the actual release.
The "Cirque/Circus" that makes a perfect landscape to package the music in, was the last work of art that renaissance man and TV-personality Jeroen van Merwijk completed, just a few weeks before he passed away. That probably does not mean a lot to most of you, but fact is that Mitchell has an eye and ear for talent. His Secret Combination is like a Dutch supergroup with members he recruited from leading Dutch bands.
