The band, despite never achieving success outside the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands), are now considered one of the most innovative [acid rock](/source/acid_rock) bands from the era.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/group-1850-mn0000536530/biography|title=Group 1850 - Biography |work=allmusic.com|author=Richie Unterberger|accessdate=March 28, 2015}} ==Career== They first used the name ''Klits'', but were renamed ''Groep 1850'' in 1966 when their debut single, "Misty Night" / "Look Around", appeared on the tiny Yep label. Though few copies were pressed, it established them as one of [The Netherlands](/source/The_Netherlands) most original bands (alongside the Outsiders and [Q65](/source/Q65_(band))) and they soon signed to Philips. More singles ensued, in a highly psychedelic vein, including "Mother No-Head", their only single to chart on the [Dutch Top 40](/source/Dutch_Top_40). Their debut [album](/source/album), ''Agemo's Trip To Mother Earth'', appeared in late 1968. In The Netherlands its sleeve had a 3-D image on the cover, and came with a pair of [3-D glasses](/source/Stereoscopy). A UK release (also on Philips) did not help the band gain a footing outside the Netherlands, and Philips dropped them soon afterwards. Their next album, ''Paradise Now'', appeared on the Dutch Discofoon label in 1969 and was only marginally less acid-influenced than its predecessor. The band disbanded soon afterwards, but was sporadically active through the 1970s. Especially notable was another single, 1971's "Fire" / "Have You Ever Heard?", which appeared on [Polydor](/source/Polydor_Records). In subsequent years related albums have appeared by S.I.X. (Sjardin's Invisible X-factor), ''Sjardin's Terrible Surprise'' and ''Orange Upstairs''. == Incomplete discography == === Studio albums === * ''Agemo's Trip to Mother Earth'' Philips PY 844083 (1968)[https://www.discogs.com/de/artist/447272-Group-1850 Discography] at [Discogs](/source/Discogs) * ''Paradise Now'' Discofoon Vroom & Dreesmann 7063 (1969) * ''Polyandri'' (1974) === Live albums === * ''Live'' (1975) * ''Live On Tour'' (1976) === Singles === * "Look Around" / "Misty Night" (Yep 1013), 1966 * "I Know (La Pensee)" / "I Want More" (Philips JF 333835), 1967 * "Mother No-Head" / "Ever Ever Green" (Philips JF 333901), 1967.
