In 1977, the debut album 'Zo Is Het Leven' (That's How Life Is), by Amsterdam singer André Hazes, discovered by Willy Alberti, was released. A year earlier, André Hazes had already scored a hit with his Christmas single "Eenzame Kerst" (Lonely Christmas), but on his debut album, 'Zo Is Het Leven', he first showed what he was capable of. The singles "De Vlieger" (The Kite) and "Mama" were only minor hits, but the album put Hazes' name on the map. This edition of 'Zo Is Het Leven' is pressed on gold vinyl.
