Non è la prima volta che torna al centro dell'attenzione, né probabilmente l'ultima, ma l'occasione ora è da cifra tonda e la coglie la tedesca Week-end producendone una nuova edizione: compie cinquant'anni Sort Of, l'album del debutto di Slapp Happy. E ne siamo tutti - compresi loro, i Magnifici Tre - felicissimi.
In 1972, left-wing intellectual film critic Uwe Nettelbeck suggested to Anthony Moore that he might write some straight songs (relatively speaking), which in turn prompted Moore to invite his old schoolfriend Peter Blegvad over to Hamburg to form the band Slapp Happy. Dagmar Krause, a young singer from Hamburg and Moore's girlfriend, joined them both on their trip to Wümme to record what was to become this album, Sort Of, using Faust as their rhythm section. In honour of this album´s 50th anniversary the album gets a nicely remastered reissue with the newly founded Week-End Records, the festival's inhouse label who managed to get the band together for their final reunion shows in November of 2016 and Spring of 2017.
