| Creeps - Enjoy the Creeps
|
(Tracks On Wax WAX-1001 Swe-86 VG+ 375:-)
This Swedish retro act from Älmhult, Småland, 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, delivered with power and precision.

| Feta Heta Linjen - Med Kisa, Brass & Brudar
|
(Polydor 2379.029 Swe-71 VG+ 350:-)
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 drummer Janne "Loffe" Carlsson and jazz pianist 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 singer Kisa Magnusson and Göran Lagerberg (bass-player for Tages).

| Lindblom, Anita - Hej, Hej!
|
(Fontana 687.401TL Swe-64 VG+ 500:-)
Anita Lindblom var en av Sveriges populäraste schlagerartister under 1960-talet. Hon var en mångsidig artist som passade i revysammanhang och spelade bland annat hos Hagge Geigert i Uddevalla och hos Kar de Mumma på Folkan. Lindblom drog sig tillbaka från rampljuset i början av 1980-talet och kände sig förföljd av media efter skriverier om skatteskulder, kärleksförhållanden och nervsammanbrott.

| Rude Kids - Safe Society
|
(Polydor 2379.178 Swe-79 VG+ 700:-)
Rude Kids was the first Swedish punk band to release a record through a major record label.
They played in London a few times, once opening for Madness (only to be attacked by skinheads in the audience). After they fled the stage the audience smashed up all the gear without realising they smashed up Madness's gear.

| Splash - Splash
|
(Pla PLA-3001 Nor-74 VG+ 600:-)
Splash were among the better heavy jazz-rock outfits from Sweden.
The three tracks on their second album contained complex arrangements for brass, keyboards and electric guitar (mainly), but maintained a touch of humour (including some "Presley-vocals"). An album that in its various stages sounds like King Crimson, Chicago, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, and Soft Machine interspersed with Swedish fiddle music might be too eclectic for many listeners, though!

| Zetterlund, Monica - Ahh! Monica!
|
(Philips 08211-PL Swe-62 VG+ 1750:-)
Really wonderful work from vocalist Monica Zetterlund – recorded at a time when she was really coming into her own! The album really has Monica stepping past her initial influences from American jazz – working in an idiom that's equally well suited to expression in her native Swedish, as it is filled with traces of a pan-global approach to jazz that features elements of bossa, modal jazz, and other compelling rhythms. Backings by the Georg Riedel Orchestra, and they're plenty darn great!
1st pressing with "Minigroove 33 1/3" logo on labels.
