Brainbox started in 1969 when Kaz Lux is asked by Akkerman and Van der Linden to form a band together. As a bass player they recruit Andre Reynen.
The band plays a sort of progressive bluesy rock. In 1969 they score big hits with the singles Down Man and Summertime. That year was the release of Brainbox' debut album, called Brainbox.

This Summertime-single was the start of my collection Summertime recordings.
