- Gorilla Beat Nov 81: "Nederlands eerste punk band de Flyin' Spiderz werd door Pieter Meulenbroeks zelf ontdekt in Eindhoven. Pieter maakte een cassette, liet deze aan Sean Tyla horen en de laatste werd zo enthousiast dat hij speciaal in februari 1977 overvloog naar Amsterdam om de jongens te produceren. Er zijn vier nummers op genomen die van een zeldzame kwaliteit waren maar die later ver te zoeken was op de eerste elpee op Phonogram. Enfin, de tapes liggen nog steeds bij Pieter en misschien gebeurt er nog wat mee. The SPIDERZ were soon opening for THE DAMNED, at their first Dutch concert in the Paradiso, a low budget concert that DYNAMITE organized with the local RAF record shop."

- "DYR 3305 Bintangs - Bintangs (not released) - This is the album that drained all Dynamite's funds, ...(uitgebracht door Philips) NR. 6410955
We volstaan hier met de hoesgegevens achter op de plaat: side 1: recorded and mixed at Rockfield Studio, Monmouyh, Wales, June 1977. side 2: recorded live at the PEN-centrale IJmuiden, Holland on May 13, 1977. mixed at Rockfield Studio. AN EXCLUSIVE DYNAMITE RECORDING, PRODUCED BY SEAN TYLA.
- "THE BINTANGS who recorded an incredible live-album for DYNAMITE at the IJmuiden-Pen Centrale some months later in the spring of 1977 for an LP-side. For the other side they made a trip to the Welsh Rockfield Studios where, under the guidance of SEAN TYLA, some powerful tracks were recorded. These recordings took quite a while though, progressing slowly and were costing so much money that the other DYNAMITE activities came to an abrupt halt. There was no money left to release the Bintangs album or any new records at the time. One year later the LP finally appeared on the PHILIPS label and DYNAMITE barely got a mention on the backsleeve"
