| Bode, Johnny - Bordellmammas Dotter
|
(Prince (12) – PLP 102 Swe-73 VG+ 400:-)
Johnny Bode har 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" (1968), vilken gjort att han anses som en förgrundsgestalt inom den så kallade könsrocken.
På albumet "Bordellmammas Dotter" är det Lena Junoff som, under pseudonymen ”Gilda”, är Johnny's kvinnliga sångpartner. (OBS: Det är inte hon som poserar på omslaget).

(Rondex LPS-301 Swe-73 VG+ 300:-)
Johnny Bode har 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" (1968), vilken gjort att han anses som en förgrundsgestalt inom den så kallade könsrocken.
Framgången följdes upp med bland andra skivorna "Bordellmammas Dotter", "Styrman Janssons Frestelser", "Sexrevyn Stig På".

| 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.

| 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).

| Hellacopters - Supershitty to the Max
|
(Universal 02547-80327 EU-16 EX 1200:-)
Flat-out, high-energy, no-holds-barred, no-quarter-given, balls-to-the-wall, dirty and dangerous rock and roll, the way it's SUPPOSED to be!
The Hellacopters blast off with the mission statement "(Gotta Get Some Action) Now!" and it is full-throttle from start to finish!
This monster classic was re-released as picture disc for the 2016 Record store day. There was 1000 pressed

| Kaipa - Inget Nytt under Solen
|
(Decca SKL-5260 Ger-76 VG+ 275:-)
Hailed by many as Sweden's leading progessive band, Kaipa was formed in Uppsala in 1973 by former San Michael's members Hans Lundin and Tomas Eriksson. Their eponymous debut album was the first notable symphonic rock album to come from Sweden.
The follow up, 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 Lundin's maturity as a songwriter.

| 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.

|
(Universal 02537-79912 Swe-14 VG+ 800:-)

| Peps & Blues Quality - Sweet Mary Jane
|
(Spotlight SPO-130 Swe-75 VG+ 375:-)
Per-Åke "Peps" Persson began his long and illustrious career in the mid-60's with Hässleholm blues band Downbeat Crowd and got a solo deal as Linkin' Louisiana Peps in 1966.
Peps then joined Blues Quality, a band featuring Lasse Wellander and Bosse Skoglund that changed its name to Nature when Peps left in 1970. Their album together, "Sweet Mary Jane", immediately caused trouble as the sleeve featured the band standing among cannabis plants and was promptly withdrawn from the market.
This is the 1875 second pressing with new inoffensive artwork.

| Samla Mammas Manna - Klossa Knapitalet
|
(Silence SRS-4627 Swe-74 VG+ 275:-)
SMM was formed in Uppsala in 1969 and 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 Progressive Movement.
"Klossa Knapitalet" (1974) contains the outstanding track "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 Lars Hollmer project.

| Storm - Stormvarning
|
(Harvest 4E062-35010 Swe-74 VG+ 275:-)
Famous poet Jacques Werup formed this progressive band in Malmö in 1973. His Swedish-language lyrics on Stormvarning have a socialist message with a poetic, yet violent, touch. The band strove to make the music radical, with most of the music written by Rolf Sersam. The standout cut, "Snart bryter stormen ut", was written by Werup and guitarist Mulle Holmqvist, who really shines here.
Original Swedish pressing, complete with picture innersleeve and lyric insert.

Bengt Sändh, född 17 februari 1938 i Borås, är en svensk trubadur, sångförfattare, författare och snusfabrikör. På 60 och 70-talen samarbetade han ofta med kollegan Finn Zetterholm.

| Trettioåriga Kriget - Trettioåriga Kriget
|
(Epic EPC-80220 Swe-74 VG+ 1250:-)
Trettioåriga Kriget was formed in Stockholm in 1970 and recorded their first compositions two years later. Their vocalist Robert Zima was in fact an Austrian singing Swedish lyrics!
Their debut album was an immensely powerful statement, almost a cross between Uriah Heep and King Crimson at their most furious. This war-like inferno of scorching guitars and howling vocals started with a 3-minute manic guitar overture at the beginning of "Kaledoniska Orogenesen". All six tracks had intricate, complex arrangements similar to many Italian rock bands (which had similar influences).

| Träd Gräs & Stenar - Djungelns Lag
|
(Tall TALL-1 Swe-72 VG/VG+ 2750:-)
Previously known as Pärson Sound, International Harvester and Harvester, these Movement pioneers became Träd, Gräs Och Stenar in 1970. Much the same way that Grateful Dead would eventually return to their country roots, these Swedes did the same, discovering the value of their ancestor's folk music and Swedish landscapes. TGS combined this with a do-it-yourself attitude, that inspired a whole new generation of Swedish groups.
"Djungelns Lag" contains live recordings, which captures the band at its most open and transcendental peak, 1971/72.
