Simon, The Who, Kaleidoscope, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, The Hollies, The

Arjen Anthony Lucassen, released in 1996. The album and the booklet
contains no information about Lucassen and don't explain who was
responsible for the recordings, to make the album even more "strange".

“Strange Hobby” is a collection of Arjen’s recorded versions of songs
that have influenced his musical development. To make the album even
more “strange,” the booklet contained no information about who was
responsible for the recordings. The album, mastered at Abbey Road
Studios, was a complete mystery. As Arjen explains, “From the start I
intended to keep it a secret, who made this album. I just wanted to do
that…it may not be smart from a commercial point of view, but it was
fun.” Strange Hobby was released in 1996 by Transmission records.
Currently out of print, it is now considered a collector’s item.
