HEP STARS/HOW IT ALL STARTED LPE003 (-70) MONO

This may be of limited interest to some, but is starting to draw attention from fans of early garage and die hard ABBA collectors who want the earliest recordings with Benny Andersson. It's a compilation of the first '45:s the group made 1964-65 plus a few obscure B-sides - all non-LP. As shown by track list below they were into contemporary American rock. Seems like recorded almost live in the studio, with only few overdubs. It's all very primitive and very charming. Original mono tapes were used, no stereo mixes existed by the time of this release. Sound quality is beautiful, it's almost like being there. Efel was a budget label, always releasing stuff as it was, without tampering. Back in the days you could get these for a dollar, but now prices are rising fast as they're getting rarer. (SCÄ*)(ÖGÄ*) (HÄH*)(ÄBBÖ*)
