Royal Bed Bouncer is the third album by Dutch progressive rock band Kayak, released in 1975. Their progressive approach from the first two albums was mixed with a more basic pop/rock sound.[citation needed] Nine of the ten songs were written by Ton Scherpenzeel, with Pim Koopman only contributing the instrumental “Patricia Anglaia”. The album was produced by Gerrit-Jan Leenders and Kayak.
The original LP was released by EMI in the Netherlands (although copies on the Phonogram/Vertigo label also exist). In the USA, the LP was issued by Janus Records, with different sleeve design. The 1995 CD release was done by independent label Pseudonym.
“Chance For A Lifetime” was the only single release from this album, reaching the Dutch top-20. In 1997, the line-up of this album reunited for a Dutch TV-special called “Classic Albums”. This — along with a few live appearances — eventually lead to Kayak reforming in 1999.
