The rise to fame of the talented Impossibles is one which
will never be described as such. Historically regarded as a
legendary and iconic 70s era string-pop band in their
native land of Thailand, the Impossibles became well
known internationally for their covers of Western rock
songs.
Having become nationally recognized in 1970 after
winning the Thai Musicians Award for best professional
band in the country (an award they would win the next
two years), the Impossibles knew that they could ride their
wave of success to international heights. In 1972 they left
Thailand for an engagement in Honolulu, Hawaii - the one
off gig turned into a year long string of performances,
followed by a seventh month European tour - a move
which raised the stature of the Impossibles to international
fame.
In 1975, the Impossibles became the first band in the
history of Thailand to sign a recording contract with an
international firm (Phonogram). ''Hot Pepper'' - an all
English language recording, was also the first such album
recorded overseas by a Thai pop group. In addition to rock
and pop, the band's sound frequently crossed over into
funk, R&B, country and folk. Two cove rs of Kool and the
Gang tracks (''Give It Up'' and Love The Life You Live'')
appear on their heralded 1975 album ''Hot Pepper''.
Get On Down is proud to present The Impossibles 1975
album ''Hot Pepper'' featuring audio completely remastered
from the original audio tapes.
