Shocking Blue was a Dutch rock group formed in 1967 by former The Motions guitarist Robbie van Leeuwen. The initial line-up consisted of Robbie Van Leeuwen, Fred de Wilde, Klaasje Van Der Wal, and Cornelis van der Beek. After replacing de Wilde with Mariska Veres as their lead vocalist, the group achieved worldwide chart success with their hit single "Venus" in 1969. Over the years, the band went through several member changes before disbanding in 1975. Despite attempts at a relaunch, Shocking Blue's legacy remains rooted in their influential contributions to rock music.

The original members of Shocking Blue included Robbie Van Leeuwen on guitar, sitar, and backing vocals; Fred de Wilde on vocals (1967-1968); Klaasje Van Der Wal on bass guitar (1967-1972); and Cornelis van der Beek on drums (1949 – 1998). Later members included Mariska Veres on vocals (1947 – 2006), Leo Van de Ketterij on guitar (1970-1971) , Martin Van Wijk on guitar (1973-1974), and Henk Smitskamp on bass guitar (1972-1974).

Throughout their career, Shocking Blue collaborated with additional members such as Wim Voermans, Jan Pijnenburg, Michael Eschau

Shocking Blue was a Dutch rock band from The Hague that was at their peak in the 60s and 70s and gained major cross-Atlantic success. The band was founded in 1967 and gained most success after recruiting vocalist Mariska Veres. With their single “Venus” they became the first Dutch band ever to reach the first spot on the American Billboard Hot 100. The band had a series of subsequent hits but decided to split up in 1975. Their influence reached well beyond their generation: The Prodigy used a sample of “Love Buzz” and even Nirvana made a cover of this single. This is the 2021 Dutch remastered edition from the 1969 original mix by Robbie van Leeuwen. This includes the Mono single versions of both “Venus” and “Long And Lonesome Road”.
