Here's a rare piece of Dutch history from the 60's: "Ik ken je beter, Peter" by Iris Zegveld with Short 66. Supposedly, she never made an album, and only ever put out one single, consisting of this song and "De sleutelring" on "Relax Records" 1966. It was later released on the "Biet Het" series, a collection of Dutch garage rock. Unfortunately, this is all that anyone today really knows about Iris. Though I don't speak any Dutch, I'm inclined to believe that the title translates as "I know you better, Peter."
