The Snifters – I Like Boys [7''] (1978, Lightning Records)

The Snifters were a punk band from Amsterdam (Netherlands), also known as Cirrus Minor (from 1966 to 1970) and Mantra Energy Band (from 1970 to 1976). Members were Sandor Kleinsma (vocals, keyboards), Ruud Jacobs (vocals, keyboards), Nico Arzbach (lead guitar, and also in bands such De Dijk and Stampei), Ton van Wier (guitar), Dick van Wier (bass) and Ab de Jong (drums). They only released the 'I Like Boys' ‎7" on the London-based label Lightning Records in 1978. It's hard not to break into a grin listening to "I Like Boys" with its manic energy, sex-crazed frontman, and drum machine propulsion.
