Scented Gardens Of The Mind:

A precursor to this band was formed in Copenhagen in early 1964 but their strong orientation towards blues-rock began only with the arrival of Peter Thorup in 1966. In 1967, The Beefeaters played as support band for Jimi Hendrix, John Mayall and Pink Floyd during their concerts in Denmark. Both albums were top notch "real" blues-rock efforts to file along with albums by John Mayall, early Fleetwood Mac or even Cuby & The Blizzards. The first album was, along with Steppeulvene, the most important Danish album of 1967. The Beefeaters weren't entirely blues purists either but also displayed beat and soul influences. The sound (very well developed for 1967) was largely based on Thorup's two talents as vocalist and guitarist, but Kjжrumsgеrd's Farfisa organ (sometimes replaced by piano) obviously augmented the group sound. Burnin' Red Ivanhoe was one of many groups who later copied this distinctive organ sound.

In 1969, Povl Dissing left the group, which continued for a while with Ole Fick (from Burnin' Red Ivanhoe) as their lead singer. The post-Dissing group made the soundtrack to "Smil Emil" but no further vinyl output emerged.
