The early 1970s saw a brief period where Dutch bands like The George Baker Selection,Focus,The Shocking Blue and The Tee Set enjoyed significant successes on the American charts.In typical fashion,the success of those  bands saw a bunch of American labels start to sign any Dutch outfit they could get their hands on.The short-lived Ampex Records responded by signing The Mailer MacKenzie Band.Prior to forming The Mailer MacKenzie Band lead guitarist Karel van Ettinger had been a member of The Ricochets,The InCrowd and The Boots.Bassist Paul van Melzen had been a mainstay in The Haigs and The Motions.Drummer Jaap Mossel had also been in The Haigs and The InCrowd.Singer Foort Verbrugge had been a member of The Delta Blues Band and Big Wheel.All told,a pretty impressive Netherpop musical pedigree.
