SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA – Ur sync (Slask, MC 1988; recorded 1976)


Instrumental
International relevance: ***

The rarest ever Samla Mammas Manna release, a cassette-only edition of 100 copies. Although it should be said it's Samla Mammas Manna as a three-piece before they changed their name to Zamla Mammaz Manna, with Eino Haapala on guitar, Hans Bruniusson on drums and Per Nordin on keyboards. That's right, no Lars Hollmer.

The tape is a one-sided release (side 'B' is blank) with the 25 minute jam ”Den ovala metern” in rehearsal room audio. It's better than the live portion of ”Schlagerns mystik/För äldre nybegynnare”, but only just. The trio builds up a certain tension during the first 5-6 minutes, but then it just drags on forever until dissolving into nothing at around 15 minutes. Rare yes, but no loss.
