Now there's one thing I don't understand about this album, this album is all Band Bentoel, not sure what Trio The King's were doing on this one, maybe it was the Band Bentoel playing their songs?
Band Bentoel was a band from the city of Malang, they were put together by Tan Sian Soen, a manager at Indonesia's largest cigarette factory, Bentoel, they were a promotional band for the Bentoel cigarettes and they did many, many performances. Often Elvy Sukaesih, before she became famous as a dangdut singer would join them on stage, and Mickey Jaguar was their singer for a while and they put out this album:
With Emilia Contessa, Tetty Kadi, Anna Mathovani, Benyamin Sueb, Inneke Kusumawati and Eddy Kardianto (I'll dig it up and re-post it soon)....
And they also put this one out:
In the mean time, rock legend Ian Antono was making quiet a name for himself in Jakarta, and Tan Sian Soen invited him to join the Bentoel Band, which he did. The sound of the Bentoel Band changed a bit with the arrival of Ian, becoming a bit more rock oriented....
When the Bentoel factory changed their promotional policies the Bentoel Band dissolved and members Ian Antono and Teddy Sujaya joined God Bless, the band from that other rock legend, Achmad Albar....
If you're not familiar with God Bless:
And they still perform:
Anyway, the Bentoel band, here's a recent picture from Ian Antono with this album:
