A New Seed From The Green Apple

From the Danish magazine "Vi Unge" (We Young) nov.1969 They sounds just like The Beatles sounded when they were a new group in the beginning of the sixties. That's what the press statement says about The Iveys! The Iveys are now releasing their new album on The Beatles' record company Apple Rec. But that shouldn't scare us away. We all know how terrible the Beatles sounded before they broke through the wall of sound, and concentrated only about their music. But The Iveys have throughout their career been able to concentrate on their music. The group is a singing and guitaring group without any really new ideas. Good, clean and young music is what the Iveys, and their "music factory" in the most beautiful part of Surrey stands for. The new seeds from the green apple are: Pete Ham, born 1947 in Swansea, can play nose flute, waffle iron, but what he does best is playing the guitar. Ron Griffith, he was christened Ronald Llewelyn Griffith in october 1946. Now he's playing the Hofner bass, a gift from Paul McCartney. Tom Evans, plays guitar and other things. The girls says that he looks like an Italien, but he was born in Liverpool. The youngest is Michael George Gibbons, born in 1949. He plays the drums.He has red hair, and likes to beat on almost everything, and that is why he was put behind the drum kit. Once The Iveys worked as a backing group for David Garrick. Just as The Iveys on their own, was to tour Germany, they drove into a tree, and ended up in an English hospital. Now The Iveys are making their own music, and they are doing it so well that The Everly Bros. have bought and recorded one of their songs. But if you listen to the Iveys own recordings, you will hear that they are full of seeds......

My Comments: What a silly article. Hard to translate, because even for at Dane 
the journalist's points are unclear. Was it supposed to be funny?
