One of probably very few full length albums filled with a blend of rock'n'roll and the Finnish dance letkajenkka (sometimes called "letkiss"). The guitar band The Adventurers (not sure about origin or members, but got from a source they were Swedish so I go with that) already had a hit in Finland with a version of Erik Lindstöm's original "Letkajenkka" song, before teaming up with Norwegian singer Jan Rohde (1942-2005) and recording this LP, then renaming as The Wild Ones. So a Norwegian singer backed by a Swedish band doing rock'n'roll variations of a Finnish dance. A very Scandinavian construction, yet built on an American foundation. Six of the cuts with vocals by Rohde and six instrumentals, all very perky and positive. The audio is absolutely smashing, loud and natural with perfect clarity and separation. To me beyond good or bad. I'm just happy a record like this exists and listen with a big smile on my face. Also released in Germany on Metronome (MLP 15 194). Don't know of any other issues. Premiere Norwegian had label as shown here on very heavy unflexible vinyl in a laminated flip/back cover. (SCÄ*) (CCÖ*) (SÖNÄ*)
