The Wallace Collection - 1969 - Laughing Cavalier
The Wallace Collection was a Belgian pop rock group active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Wallace Collection was formed from the ashes of a group called Sylvester's Team, three of which began playing under the name 16th Century along with bassist Christian Jannsens and two members of the Belgian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Raymond Vincent and Jacques Namotte. Wallace Collection based itself out of Britain, naming itself after the famous museum adjacent to the headquarters of their record label, EMI. Their debut studio album, Laughing Cavalier, was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and was released in 1969. The single "Daydream" became a hit in 21 countries, including going #1 in Belgium. In the wake of its success, the group toured Europe, the United States, Mexico, and South America. They also composed the soundtrack to a French film, La Maison, in 1970. Later singles, such as "Love" and "Serenade", were hits in Belgium and some other countries but did not reach the level of "Daydream", and the group split up in 1971. 01 - Get That Girl 02 - The Sea Disappeared 03 - Get Back 04 - Ragtime Lily 05 - Natacha 06 - Merry-Go-Round 07 - What's Goin' On 08 - Fly Me To The Earth 09 - Peru 10 - Poor Old Sammy 11 - Baby I Don't Mind 12 - Misery 13 - Laughing Cavalier LINK
