Royal Bed Bouncer

Royal Bed Bouncer

"Royal Bed Bouncer" is the third album by Dutch progressive rock band Kayak, released in 1975. By many fans it is regarded as the best album from their early years. This is mostly because their progressive approach from the first two albums was mixed with a more basic pop/rock sound. Nine of the ten songs were written by Ton Scherpenzeel, with Pim Koopman only contributing the instrumental "Patricia Anglaia". The album was produced by Gerrit-Jan Leenders and Kayak.

The original LP was released by EMI in Holland (although copies on the Phonogram/Vertigo label also exist). In the USA, it was issued by Janus Records. The 1995 CD release was done by independent label Pseudonym.

"Chance For A Lifetime" was the only single release from this album, reaching the Dutch top-40. In 1997, the line-up of this album reunited for a Dutch TV-special called "Classic Albums". This—along with a few live appearances—eventually lead to Kayak reforming in 1999.
