To my taste this was their best studio album. Two of the tracks are covers, the rest written by group members or associates. It's also an exemple of early co-work between Benny Andersson and Björn Ulveaus, a collaboration that later would emerge into ABBA. "Isn't It Easy To Say" was written by both and "No Time" originally by Björn for his group Hootenanny Singers album "International". Of the songs Benny wrote himself "Consolation" and "Wedding" are top numbers - melodic, catchy with nice organ. This is pure pop all through, no experimenting or rough stuff (although "Consolation" intro is a little on the psych side). It's a bunch of very good songs performed with a kind atmosphere. Singer Svenne Hedlund has an attractive baryton and Benny Andersson's hammond makes it cozy. The production is straight on without cover-ups or too many overdubs. When you're done for the day with protesting and drug abusing, this is good to come home to. First press on Olga with red/blue/white label, later on blue/yellow. Issued in compatible stereo only.
