| Arbete och Fritid - Arbete och Fritid
|
(MNW 39P Swe-73 VG+ 375:-)
Arbete & Fritid experimented with several different styles changing both members and musical direction with every recording. The core group was Roland Keijser, Kjell Westling, Torsten Eckerman and later Tord Bengtsson with Ove Karlsson being the only constant member. Almost everybody were multi-instrumentalists!
The band's 1973 on MNW Records marked the beginning of a new era for the band. The connection to traditional music is still evident but absorbed into the pulsating drone of electric guitars garnished with oriental fanfares. It is a highly accomplished album and may be the band's best ever.
Original Swedish pressing; both sleeve and vinyl are graded VG+.

| Aschan, Erik - Två
|
(E-Aschan 77-002 Swe-77 VG+ 300:-)
When Aschan was twenty years old he sent his demo tapes to various record companies, but since none seemed interested he released and distributed his albums himself. His music consisted of his voice and acoustic guitar. His songs are both about left-wing themes and existential problems. He continued to release albums independently well into the 80's, sometimes using the name Erik Zürcher.
Omslaget till detta exemplar är graderat till VG; vinylen är Excellent!

Inger Berggren gjorde scendebut som fjortonåring på Nalen i en tävling där hon lyckades ta sig till final. Två år senare nåddes Thore Swanerud av ryktet om hennes framfart och Inger fick ersätta Bibi Johns som vokalissa i hans orkester. Hon representerade Sverige i Eurovisionsfestivalen 1962 Luxemburg med sången "Sol och Vår", som hamnade på sjunde plats i tävlingen.
Både omslag och vinyl till detta exemplar är graderade Excellent.

| Blueset - Rock Machine
|
(Not On Label – No Number EX 800:-)
Considered a classic among fans of heavy rock, this album consists of long lead guitar workouts with rumbling bass lines and heavy drumming, all performed with a driven energy seldom experienced in those days in Sweden. It is among the rarest from Sweden along with the musically similar Nebulosa and Solid Ground.
This is a bootleg reissue of unknown date.

| Blå Tåget - Brustna Hjärtans Hotell
|
(MNW 32-33P Swe-72 EX 275:-)
When progg pioneers Gunder Hägg changed their name to Blå Tåget in 1972, the band took a turn in musical direction since the members had been improving as musicians. Many of the songs now had a more serious tone and the production was better overall. Still highly original, the double LP "Brustna Hjärtans Hotell" is generally considered a classic of the Swedish Progg Movement.

| Bode, Johnny - Styrman Janssons Frestelser
|
(Rondex S-301 Swe-73 EX 275:-)
Johnny Bode (1912-1983) har av många beskrivits som en amoralisk mytoman och enfant terrible. Trots att han gjorde sig socialt omöjlig under stora delar av sitt liv har han postumt fortsatt att väcka uppmärksamhet, inte minst på grund av skivan BORDELLMAMMAS VISOR, vilken gjort att han anses som en förgrundsgestalt inom den så kallade könsrocken. På skivan sjöng Johnny Bode tillsammans med Lillemor Dahlqvist. Hon lovades anonymitet, men ett sådant löfte vägde mycket lätt när det kom från Bode. Framgången följdes upp med bland andra skivorna BORDELLMAMMAS DOTTER, STYRMAN JANSSONS FRESTELSER, SEXREVYN STIG PÅ och singeln VI TVÅ ÄR EJ SOM DE ANDRA. Den sistnämnda är troligen den första skivan i Sverige med homosexuellt tema.

| Bravado Bravado - Bravado Bravado
|
(Hawk LP-2121 Swe-89 EX 275:-)
Anders Folke Rönnblom är en av pionjärerna när det gäller att kombinera visor och rock i Sverige. Under tidigt 70-tal tillhörde han de artister som ansågs mest lovande och intressanta för svensk rock. Rönnblom tillhörde aldrig den alternativa musikrörelsen, trots att han verkade under dess storhetstid och trots att många av hans texter präglades av samhällsengagemang.
"Bravado Bravado" från 1989 innehåller bl a en duett med Kajsa Grytt på "Vårregn".
Detta exemplar är signerat av Anders F Rönnblom på baksidan.

(Grand Prix GP-9931 Swe-68 EX 375:-)
Skiffle var en stor fluga på 50-talet; sång på engelska – gärna med något folkloristiskt tema – till gitarr/mandolin/fiol, gärna en hembyggd bas av en resväska och ett kvastskaft och tvättbräda i sättningen. Robbans Skiffle Group var en av de främsta skifflegrupperna i Sverige och leddes av Robert Karl-Oskar Broberg.

| Creeps - Enjoy the Creeps!
|
(Tracks On Wax WAX 1001 Swe-86 EX 300:-)
Swedish retro act The Creeps aims squarely at mid-'60s garage rock, aping the bands that aped the Yardbirds, but thanks to inspired playing and inventive arrangements, they succeed in adding to the tradition rather than just running in place. Recorded with period-appropriate atmosphere (i.e. a thick, dirty echo), the Creeps bang out nine originals that channel the Animals and Them, delivered with power and precision.

Carin Kjellman and Ulf Gruvberg met Jørn Jensen, previously of Folque and Kong Lavring, at a small club in Oslo and eventually decided to join forces. A year later Jensen's old partner Trond Villa joined the group, making them an unique combination of two Norwegians and two Swedes. Folk & Rackare soon established themselves as the Swedish counterpart of Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span.

(Universal 016 804-1 Swe-02 VG+ 1250:-)
This collection features "out of print odds and sods" culled from various releases by the Hellacopters, including several of their own singles and split singles. These tracks, which were recorded between December 1994 and August 1999, are not arranged in chronological order; however, this musical "smorgasbord" manages to hold together anyway.
Original Swedish pressing, complete with half-a-poster (the other half came with CREAM OF THE CRAP, vol 2). The sleeve has a few dents and dings, but has been SIGNED ON THE FRONT by the whole band - the vinyl is graded EX.

| Hep Stars - California Maiden
|
(Philips 6316-013 Swe-71 VG+ 500:-)
The chances are that, had ABBA never come along making Benny Andersson into an international pop/rock star, no one outside of Sweden would ever have heard of the Hep Stars. They were the hottest rock band of the mid-to late '60s in Sweden, however, considered by some to be that country's answer to the Beatles, charting 20 singles in their own country as well as having hits in the Netherlands, and building a following in Germany.
CALIFORNIA MAIDEN was their last album. By this time the only original members left was guitarist Janne Frisk and bassplayer Lennart Hegeland. The album sold poorly and is thus very hard to find.
Original Swedish pressing. The sleeve is a bit dented and worn; the vinyl is graded EX.

| Hep Stars - Jul med Hep Stars
|
(Olga LPO-06 Swe-67 EX 375:-)
This album contained a selection of the most familiar Christmas songs, but also a number of new pop songs, written especially for this album; "Christmas Today" was written by Lars Berghagen and "Christmas on my Mind" by Berry Bjärenäs. Curiously, however, not one of them was composed by Benny, who by then had become quite a prolific songwriter.
It has to be said that JUL MED HEP STARS was quite a bizarre concoction: the tracks were interspersed with jokey babbling from the group members, recorded live at a party held in the recording studio.

The A-side was recorded live from Hep Stars summer tour 1968. A collection of popsongs both in Swedish and English. During this period Benny wrote some songs together with the Swedish songwriter Lasse Berghagen but here you also will find Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' second composition

Heta Linjen first appeared on record as an un-named backing group for Doris' acclaimed 1970 album, "Did You Give The World Some Love Today, Baby?" The band was led by former Hansson & Karlsson and Pugh drummer Janne "Loffe" Carlsson and the late jazz pianist and TV-producer Berndt Egerbladh. Their first album contained progressive pop in the vein of Jason's Fleece, while the second was jazzier and also included a big dose of comedy. The line-up had by now expanded and included people like the late soul singer Kisa Magnusson and former teen idol Göran Lagerberg (Tages), who would later join Ulf Andersson in Egba.

(Piglet PR-1001 Swe-80 EX 500:-)
I den kajalbeflockade studentstaden Uppsala startade Björn Stenberg och Ted Dluzewski 1980 skivbolaget Piglet Records, som under sin kortvariga verksamhet kom att ge ut tre fenomenala skivor som skrivit svensk avantgardehistoria: plattan "Hmm" med Friz Be!, den självbetitlade skivan "Imp-Ink", och så slutligen Jonas Palms mörka minimalsynth-klassiker "Ze Wörmnest".
Efter en konsert på Musikforum 1979 tog Björn Stenberg kontakt med Jonas Palm. Eftersom båda spelade synth hade de en del gemensamt och de började jamma tillsammans med Ted Dluzewski (gitarr) och Roland Zinders (blås). Jonas förevigade sessionerna med en rullbandspelare och de bestämde sig för att klippa ihop det mest spännande från dessa inspelningar till en skiva.
Finns i tre olika omslag; svart/guld, svart/vitt och blå/svart; både omslag och vinyl är graderade EX.

| Imperial State Electric - Pop War
|
(Psychout PSYCHO14LP Swe-02 EX 500:-)
It would seem obvious to say that Nicke Andersson is one of the most versatile and talented musicians of the modern rock and metal world. From death metal (Entombed, Death Breath), to hard rock (the Hellacopters), to noisy punk (Supershit 666), to Detroit soul (the Solution), there doesn’t seem to be a genre he hasn’t mastered. Pop War acts as a rock and roll time machine, taking listeners back to a time when Cheap Trick and Kiss were at their absolute peaks. Drawing heavily from both of these bands (and many others), Pop War delivers 10 pop-heavy rock songs that you’ll swear were unearthed from the vaults of Electric Lady Studios. In fact, this album feels very much like the long-lost secret collaboration between Rick Nielsen, Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin.

Guitarist Bo Anders persson formed a group called Pärsson Sound in 1967. In 1968 they re-named themselves International Harvester and is regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative European groups.
Their first album is an adventurous effort with soft, haunting ballads and roaming excursions into the wild unknown. A wide variety of instruments and primitive effects are utilized and two tracks exceed ten minutes. All in all, it is one of the most important releases of the Movement.

Little is known about this secret group from Lund other than one of the members is strongly rumoured to be radio personality Kalle Oldby. Members of Underground Failure guested on the album, which was released on their Musiklaget label.
The witty Swedish lyrics front a folk sound in the vein of Anna Koka Fem Ägg Jag Är Värd I Huset and Love Explosion with a touch of the excentricity of fellow secret group Philemon Arthur & The Dung.

"Ljus över prärien" kom ut 1984, samma år som Torssons "En rökare i krysset" släpptes och detta år var kanske det sista som Svenska Popfabriken präglades av lusten till lek.

Klossa Knapitalet (1974) was similar in style to 1973's "Måltid", with another outstanding track named "Liten Dialektik" approaching more serious progressive music (if this expression relates to SMM at all!). Another track, "Ramlösa Kvällar", was used as the name of a future Hollmer project.

The song's success was partly due to the fact that Agnetha & Frida appeared on backing vocals, the first time the quartet recorded together. "It was the birth of ABBA in a way," Frida recalled many years later.

| v/a - Drra På! Kul Grej på väg till Götet
|
(Sonet SLP-56 Swe-67 VG+ 2000:-)
DRRA PÅ! KUL GREJ PÅ VÄG TILL GÖTET är i det närmaste en surrealistisk upplevelse. Filmen är packad med kändisar vars uppgift är just att vara kändisar, Ingo Johansson som buschauför, Cornelis Vreeswijk och Bosse Parnevik för att nämna ett fåtal.
Ett antal popband b.la Ola & Janglers, Lee Kings och Shanes är på väg till Göteborg för en spelning. Flyget på Bromma ställs in pga av dimma och de olika popbanden får ta sig till Göteborg av egen maskin. Av oklara anledningar saboterar banden färden för varandra samt väljer de besvärligaste ressätten.
Original Swedish pressing. Both sleeve and vinyl are graded EX.

| Zamla Mammaz Manna – Schlagerns Mystik
|
(Silence SRS-4640 Swe-77 VG+ 300:-)
Samla Mammas Manna fused jazz-rock and music associated with circus and theatre. Their unique sound has made them one of the most internationally acclaimed bands of the Swedish Progg Movement.
When guitarist Coste Apetrea was replaced by Eino Haapala, the group changed their spelling from 's' to 'z'. In 1978, they released this curious twin album - "För Äldre Nybegynnare" included noisy live improvisations in the style of Henry Cow, whereas "Schlagerns Mystik" offered strange songs (with even stranger Swedish lyrics) and the 17-minute instrumental "Ödet" in a style more similar to earlier albums, but adding synthesizers and accordion.
Original Swedish pressing; the sleeve shows normal wear - the vinyls are graded EX.
