However you spell it, Biotex is a Dutch detergent brand. In the mid sixties they produced a series of short child stories on 7" double-sided vinyl records.
The two posted below are both hilarious (if you can understand them ;) ).
One is called 'Bio-tex and the holiday box (carton: the box the detergent comes in)' and the other one 'Bio-tex and the box which could cry'.
The first one is a story about Bio-tex going on holiday with his favorite housewives... (by the 'lovely' names of Loeki, Rieki and Wieki... if those are still Dutch names, please tell me).
They go by car and a caravan. When they are on the campsite, they hear about an escaped lion (duh...) and clever Bio-tex captures the lion in the caravan...
The second one is about a child thief... a bad bad man who steals children! (hahaha, oh, it is SO funny in the light of today! well.. it is nearly 40 years old this record... back then child-thieves did do nothing else but steal children...)
Here they are:
Compared to the other records posted before, those Bio-tex ones were very popular. There is even a Wikipedia entry about it... (Dutch only).
