International relevance: *
Included mainly as a warning, as the album might seem like a progg album. But it's only thematically related to progg – the music displays no progg credentials whatsoever unless you count the presence of Monica Nielsen who appears on several similarily styled albums from the 70s including one with Tommy Körberg (Solar Plexus, second incarnation of Made In Sweden). Members of the Swedish Radio's symphony orchestra provide extensive backing. The songs are drawn from the songbook of the labour movement which means you get two (!) more versions of ”The International” plus Swedish takes on ”There's Power In A Union” and ”Which Side Are You On”. ”We Shall Overcome” also slips in seamlessly into the predictable mix. The Viking label was a commercial imprint, best remembered for having put out two Lee Hazlewood albums in the 70s plus one by Hawkey Franzén.
