SWEDEN - The G45 Treatment

[Perkeo]

Also worth noting is the compilation "Stora Popboxen", a 3 CD set meant to accompany the book. It's definitely a mixed bag heavy on the pop, but it does have some winners too.

Thanks Perkeo. The first 2 discs look very solid. The third one is mostly stuff I'm not familiar with. I wonder if these are from mastertapes, or if they are vinyl transfers?

Updated listing & what do you miss in terms of sleeves, as of today?
Would like to contribute but am to lazy to browse through all 11 pages and compile :)

Thanks Stefan, would appreciate your contribution. The listing on page 1 of this thread has now been updated to include all of the 45s mentioned in the entire thread. Some (Evil Eyes etc.) are not Swedish, but are included because they were important Swedish only releases.

I would start by adding one of my favourite hidden Gems that everyone seems to miss out on:

Beathovens - I Need Someone / About the Sun

Their 2nd of three singles. You can find cover and "About The Sun" online, but not I Need Someone.
Have two fairly rough copies, but it's not that hard to find although it sold 349 USD some years ago according to Popsike.
In my opinion their best and still uncomped !!!

I agree, it's great, but perhaps not getting much attention due to being a "moody downer" ballad-ish type of tune.

Here's a flac I just recorded from my copy:

Fwiw Jörgen Johannson has some highly desirable Swedish items on FB right now, including Lea Riders, probably not for long though...

Guess most of us has known Jörgen for the last 30 years but thanks 4 the tip brother I know you meant well - all the best

Count your fingers & hold your nose.

He did Diggin' for Gold series right? Met him at Utrecht a long time ago, haven't dealt with much, limited knowledge

 

[Stefan Ek]

Correct - been in the business as long as I can remember, selling 45's releasing comps etc, probably since the early 80's.
Probably on this forum, but I havn't been that active for the last 15 years. Swampthing probably knows

To counterbalance a negative opinion expressed above, I must say my latest dealing with JJ has been both fair and pleasant.

 

[Stefan Ek]

Known JJ very long - he has never followed regular patterns so dealing with him can sometimes be . . . let's sya surprising, but I have never had any dishonesty from him, just irregular behavior so to speak. Is he still in business?

Yes. He's dealing on Facebook, 60's Punk Sell And Trade group.

I can only comment from experience:

Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, still shame on you because one time is not enough for a pattern to be detected and losing all trust after one bad experience is not practical; Fool me three time and yeah, I probably should have seen that coming.

A few pics / articles from asst. Swedish magazines not of the Shanes / Tages / Deejays or Mascots who collectively consumed roughly 50% of the newsprint allocated to contemporary reportage. Not quite clear on what Spaklings or Snuffs are ??

Moonjacks on the cover of this short lived mag, only around for a couple of years, happily they were the years 1965 - 1967.
