Out of New Zealand in the 60s and 70s, The Le De Da's created an album in 1973 that was best known for it's incredible title. Which leads us to the eternal question, what exactly is a Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich? Does it contain cheese? Is it tangy, sweet, sour, or very bland? What type of dressing does it have? So many questions about what constitues a Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich.
What is a Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich?
Maybe the album's songs would provide us with some clues. The highest charting song from Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich was "The Place", released in 1974, and it reached #48 on the New Zealand charts. The song's highlights are the robust guitar playing, and the singer's raspy vocals. However, the song doesn't contain any lyrics about sandwiches, in fact, none of the songs do. So, why call it Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich? It's quite the conundrum.
We promise to solve this musical pickle, and figure out the ingredients of a Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich in a future article. Or maybe we'll just make our own rockin' two-breaded treat, with honey mustard and a guitar pick on the side.
As for the band, The La De Da's were also famous for launching what many consider to be the first Australasian rock concept album, The Happy Prince, in 1969. After that, they released one more studio album, Rock 'N' Roll Sandwich, before breaking up in 1975. The parting band members ended up playing with other bands and even released solo records of their own.
