VARIOUS ARTISTS – Röd 1:a maj-fest (Oktober, 1974)

Featured artists: Robert Karl Oskar Broberg / Peps Blodsband / Pepparn / Fria Proteatern / Athenians / Margareta Söderberg / Anders Linder / Lennart Johnsson / Röda Stjärnan
Swedish vocals, a capella, instrumental
International relevance: *

Recorded live on 1 May, 1974 celebrating Labour Day. Wildly uneven and certainly not essential, but with a couple of memorable performances. The majestic Peps Blodsband performs a spirited ”Fem långa år”, a translation of Eddie Boyd's classic blues ”Five Long Years”. They also team up with actor Anders Lind (Kapten Zoom, Ville & Valle & Viktor) for one track.  Hoola Bandoola Band backs up Robert Broberg for ”Vem är det som bromsar och vem är det som skjuter på”.and also appears on their own, with a surprisingly weak take on their otherwise excellent ”Keops pyramid”. Other artists include accordionist Pepparn, an a capella performance by Margareta Söderberg (known from her collaboration with Arbete & Fritid on ”Käringtand”), and three fatiguing tracks by Fria Proteatern.
