The second of two compilations with '45 tracks, released after the group disintegrating a year earlier as Benny Andersson went on to immerse the collaboration with Björn Ulvaeus that would result in ABBA. The first - "How It All Started" - was from the early years. This has fourteen songs covering the period 1965-69 showing a development from US style early sixties rock to soft pop. Five of the songs are self-penned, the rest covers. Eight have lyrics in English, five in Swedish and one Swahili. The front cover pic is from the wedding between band vocalist Svenne Hedlund and US singer Charlotte Walker. They met while her group Sherrys toured the country 1966 and after falling in love she broke up from her American roots and became a member of the band during their last years 1968-69. This was issued on the budget Efel label. All tracks are the initial '45 mono mixes and versions and the audio is great. First press on thick unflexible vinyl with thin matt cover.
