The Cheerful Europop of Eurovision Winners: Teach-In’s “Get On Board”

The 1970s were a golden age for Europop, and one of the most successful and memorable acts of the era was the Dutch group, Teach-In. After famously winning the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest with their incredibly catchy hit “Ding-a-dong,” the band was an international sensation. The follow-up album to that success was “Get On Board,” released in 1976, and we’re looking at the Norwegian pressing on the Philips label with the catalog number 6316 080.

This album is a perfect time capsule of mid-70s European pop. It’s filled with the cheerful, melodic, and immaculately arranged songs that made the band so popular. With the charming lead vocals of Getty Kaspers, the band delivers a wonderful collection of upbeat tunes, lighthearted ballads, and irresistible, sing-along choruses.

“Get On Board” is a bright, optimistic, and expertly produced pop record. It’s the sound of a band at the height of its international fame, delivering a high-quality product for its legion of fans. Tracks like the title song, “Sailorman,” and “Rose Valley” are all prime examples of feel-good 70s pop.

For any fan of classic Europop, the Eurovision Song Contest, or the bright, melodic sounds of the 1970s, “Get On Board” is a delightful and essential listen. You can find this album on our website.
