the studio album plus

Next to The Hep Stars, Tages (pronounced tah-gez) were Sweden s biggest band in the 60s truly as big as The Beatles. "

Hipper than the competition, they were always evolving and musically sensitive to the changing times. Originally released in 1967, Studio was their fifth album. It became Sweden s very-own Sergeant Pepper. "

Instead of drawing on the music of India though, they found inspiration in traditional Swedish music this psychedelia has a unique slant. "

Never before released outside Sweden, RPM International s special issue of Studio supplements the rare original album with all the non-album singles they recorded in its wake. Of these, Fantasy Island is world- class pop psychedelia, as classy as The Hollies' efforts in this area. Halcyon Days was specially written for them by Peter Frampton (then in The Herd). "

Fans of psychedelia will finally have the chance to hear this landmark album. Accessible and tuneful, yet freaky and psychedelic too, the adventurous and melody-filled Studio is a must for anyone with even a passing interest in music of the era. The booklet will include an exclusive interview with Tages' songwriter Göran Lagerberg. "
