To my taste an excellent 2-LP compilation containing 32 cuts from the Swedish sixties. (Title in English - "You Sould Have Been There - A Retrospective On The Swedish Pop-Years 63-69".) Apart from the more known domestic acts - as Shanes, Tages, Mascots and Streaplers - I also get some rare garage cuts from bands that only released one or a couple of 45:s - like Namelosers, Cherry Stones, Sleepstones, Annaabee-Nox and Palmes. There are recordings from three girl groups that very few remember today - Plommons, Doris med Dandys and Plums. Also one from the Finnish band Jormas. Five of the tracks are stereo, the rest mono, all as they were and the audio is very good throughout. So I both get to reminisce with hits from my teens and learn something new. There's so much for me to enjoy here in different ways it'd be impossible to pick favorites, but I very much relish The Namelosers fuzz drenched covers of "Land Of A Thousand Dances" and "Susie Q", The Shakers very garagey version of "Too Much Monkey Business" (where they obviously didn't know the lyrics but instead invented their own "English") and of course all the rare female vocal. This was the only release, on vinyl and cassette. Vinyl had label as shown here in a glossy fold/out cover with pics and lots of info inside. (SÄM*) (FÄV*) (SCÄ*) (CCÖ*)
