Yeah, I think I've seen Jonas at Sublimedia talking about him before. It's sometimes hard from an English collector's perspective to gauge how popular unfamiliar artists are in their country of origin. Is this considered one of his best LPs?
@@MrShelf-Stacker Yes, I would say so, songs like "Hog Farm" and "Dinga linga Lena" are among his best known. The album is included in the book "Tusen svenska klassiker" (A Thousend Swedish Classics) described by the authors as being one of the best Swedish rock albums of all time. His releases from the Seventies are the ones I prefer. Ah sorry forgot! He released his debut album in 1969, his stuff is available on YT.
Very cool finds! I’d have grabbed that Papoose LP on the merits of the cover alone. And I’d def have grabbed that Cambodian Psych comp. Can you imagine living under a regime where playing an instrument or being in a band could get you jailed or even killed?! You know if they were willing to risk their freedom or their lives that they were def passionate about their art. Kind of makes you appreciate that record a bit more! That Magic Kids LP looks cool! Love the bright yellow wax! I’d likely have blindly grabbed those Ted album also LoL! Cool pick ups Look forward to seeing what else you’ve recently acquired! Peace ✨✌️👽✨
Like me, you're drawn to records created by guys who look like they're from another planet (or France!). Papoose are going to get a fair bit of spin time here, that's for sure. The terrible human cost aside, I do wonder what amazing music is forever lost because of the Khmer Rouge's tyranny in Cambodia. Heavy stuff: we need a bit of sugary-sweet Magic Kids to lighten the mood. Cheers! ☮️
Vinted eh? Always thought that was a middle class eBay so you could prove me wrong...... Going out the back in a charity shop chances are if no one prices them up you'll get them dirt cheap that's what we like 😁 I'd have grabbed that Swedish one on the basis of the cover. Out of everything the Cambodia one grabbed me as i don't think I've any music from that part of Asia. I onow there are comps about but often very expensive in normal shops. West London is more populated that here so you've got plenty more scope, i think mostly i see classical and mainstream pop no one wants.
I'm spoilt for choice in London as far as digging spots go, but this is the first time I've come across Rock Workshop in the wild. Hope you find yourself a copy soon.
My German mate is Dub Addiction. Dengue Fever out of California are excellent. Cambodian space project are a charity set up by an aussie guy. Sinn Sisamouth was the King of pre khmer rouge music. As was Ros Sereysothea. Both were killed under the khmer rouge. A few Records/tapes survived. Quality not very good. A yank grabbed them and put out Cambodia Rocks in the 90s.
Pugh was Swedish. That album is legendary over here.

I've been looking for Rock Workshop but I have to go a long way for a decent record store or charity shop.
