| Arbete och Fritid - Arbete och Fritid
|
(MNW 39P Swe-73 EX 400:-)
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 Excellent!

| Berggren, Inger - Jag sjunger mina Visor
|
(His Masters Voice SCLP-1033 Swe-65 EX 375:-)
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.

(SweDisc C-45 Swe-66 EX 800:-)

På "R&B" från 1966 hörs tydliga influencer av Georgie Fame!

| 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.

| Broberg, Robert - Jubileums-Skiffle 58/68
|
(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.

|
(RCA Victor PL-40253 Swe-82 VG+ 275:-)
Sven Thomas Magnusson föddes 1963 i Gävle. När han var 14 år bytte han namn Di Leva, inspirerad av sin mors italienska flicknamn.
Di Leva startade sin karriär med bandet Pillisnorks, med vilket EP:n 4 VISITORS blev hans skivdebut 1 januari 1980. Hösten 1981 fick han skivkontrakt som soloartist och året därpå kom debutalbumet, "Marginal Cirkus", som släpptes endast i 1500 exemplar.

Den 7 juni 2014 skrevs svensk musikhistoria. Då klev Håkan Hellström upp på scen inför ett fullsatt Ullevi i Göteborg. Hemmasonens konsert med 69 349 personer i publiken betydde även fler konsertbesökare än på någon annan konsert i Sverige någonsin tidigare.

| 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.

| Hep Stars - Songs we sang in '68
|
(Olga LPO-07 Swe-68 EX 350:-)
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
together; "A Flower In My Garden".

| International Harvester - Sov Gott, Rose-Marie
|
(Love LRLP-5 Fin-68 VG+ 1750:-)
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.

| Jemerton Jönssons - Kaffesump och Kärlek
|
(Musiklaget MLLP-5 Swe-75 EX 275:-)
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.
Original Swedish pressing complete with lyric insert.

| Kaipa - Inget Nytt under Solen
|
(Decca SKL-5260 Swe-76 EX 375:-)
Kaipa were Sweden's best known symphonic rock band, formed in Uppsala in 1973. Originally a keyboard-fronted trio, Kaipa added the young guitar player Roine Stolt in 1974.
Their second album, "Inget nytt under Solen", saw a move toward political lyrics and more musical complexity, with resplendent sound and lush orchestration. The standout track is the 21 minute "Skenet bedrar", which showcases Hans Lundin's maturity as a songwriter.

| Lynx - Caught in the Trap
|
(Mill MILL-5029 Swe-85 VG+ 275:-)
Absolutely astonishing melodic metal from Eskilstuna, Sweden, reminiscent of the first two albums of Europe, which mainly focused on the guitars rather than keyboards. On this - their only album - Lynx seem to understand this concept and find ways to introduce both instruments in complete harmony with another, making this release one of Sweden’s very best.
Original Swedish pressing; the sleeve shows normal wear - the vinyl is graded VG+.

Anna-Lena Löfgren slog igenom 1962 med sången "Regniga natt", och blev en av 1960-talets populäraste schlagersångerskor. Liksom kollegorna Lill-Babs och Siw Malmkvist fick Anna-Lena stora framgångar i Västtyskland där svenska schlagersångerskor alltid stått högt i kurs.

| Made in Sweden - The Best of...
|
(Grand Prix GP-9997 Swe-71 EX 275:-)
Made In Sweden were probably the first exponents of progressive rock in Sweden, showcasing the jazzy guitar style of George Wadenius (sometimes reminiscent of Alvin Lee in his jazzier moments, although the actual influence was Wes Montgomery).

| Nature - Earthmover
|
(Sonet SLP-2554 Swe-74 VG+ 275:-)
After Peps Persson left the Örebro band Blues Quality along with two other members, the others brought in 16 year-old harmonica ace Mats Ronander as the new singer and continued as Nature. They hooked up with Pugh Rogefeldt, who produced their début album and released it on the Gump label. The music is blues-oriented acid rock in the highest echelon and features lyrics both in Swedish and English.
On their second album, "Earthmover", the music was more straightforward English language rock, with some progressive tracks, including the impressive instrumental "Mystery Brew".

| Nordenstam, Stina - Memories of a Color
|
(Telegram TLP-11 Swe-91 VG+ 375:-)
Kristina Ulrika Nordenstam is a Swedish singer, songwriter and musician. As a child, she was highly influenced by her father's classical and jazz music collection. Her voice led to early comparisons with artists such as Rickie Lee Jones and Björk.
"Memories of a Color" is without doubt the barest, most unadorned effort - a brave record in fact, considering it's her first; she has resisted the urge to swathe every song protectively in lush instrumentation. She deals with rejection, regret, loneliness in a stark, merciless manner - every emotion that she explores is stripped bare in delicate, seemingly fragile songs that are often constructed of little more than a simple rhythm, minimal backing and her inimitable, glassy vocals.

| Radio Dept - Lesser Matters

(Labrador LAB035RV Swe-11 EX 350:-)
The Radio Dept. is a dream pop band from Lund, conceived in 1995 by schoolmates Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson. Their debut album, "Lesser Matters", was well received by the music press, scoring 10 out of 10 in NME.

During a break from Samla Mammas Manna, Lasse Hollmer and Coste Apetrea toured with this quintet throughout Sweden. The best live tapes from this tour were transferred to vinyl, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. The music is mostly wild, stylish interpretations of East European folk music.

(Expo Norr LPRP-1 Swe-70 EX 375:-)
This highly obscure album features a bunch of amazing field-recorded & tape-sound laced folk-psych instrumentals captured and channeled by Solveig Bark and Bo Anders Persson.
Travelling throughout Sweden that year Bark and Persson both documented and participated in an improvised array of ad-hoc violin, hand-percussion, mouth-harp and bass/guitar/harp “jams”, captured in-situ (along with lots of environmental sounds ; children laughing, wind, crowds) with Persson capturing everything in blurry detail on his portable tape-machine (the outcome of which makes up the contents of the music herein).

| Samla Mammas Manna - Klossa Knapitalet
|
(Silence SRS-4627 Swe-74 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.
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.

|
(Not On Label TSOOL-A/B Swe-?? VG+ 500:-)
The Soundtrack of Our Lives was formed in Gothenburg in 1995 and disbanded in 2012. The band's style draws heavily on sixties and seventies punk and rock, such as Rolling Stones and Iggy and the Stooges. Psychedelic rock forms another strong influence, and psychedelic and mystical references are also prominent in the band's lyrics and aesthetics.

(MNW MNWP-146 Swe-85 EX 275:-)
Punkbandet Stockholms Negrer's debutskiva blev både populärt och kontroversiellt då Konsum kom att bannlysa skivan och de tidigare singlarna på grund av deras provokativa image och låttitlar som "Knark é Gott" och "Fy Fan Svenska Flicka". När skivan släpptes medföljde en affisch som kopierats av ett amerikanskt rasistiskt flygblad från 50-talet som lydde "HELP SAVE THE YOUTH OF AMERICA - DON'T BUY NEGRO RECORDS".

This are the first recordings by the duo hired by producer Stig Anderson as in-house songwriters his Polar Records label. The title track "Lycka" (lyrics by Stig) was released as a single, but it's b-side, the Salvation Army-style "Hej gamle man!" became a hit, topping at No.1 for 5 weeks on the Swedish Top 10!
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.
