Slå Tillbaka! (”fight
back”) was apparently not a record label per se, but an
organisation working against unemployment, racism and drugs but
released this one album. ”Vi har rätt till jobb!” (”we have
the right to work”) was recorded live in Umeå 1978 during a one
day festival to support the cause of the organisation. It features
ten acts, none of them particularily well-known outside of this
album. The best known (or should I say the least unknown) bands make
up the first side of the album: TBC, Steve Roper Band (performing a
cover av Röda Ropet's ”Spring Lasse spring”, Checkpoint Charlie
and Rikets Affärer. They all play straighforward rock with a slight
hard rock bent and an even minor punk touch, and they're all decent
for what they are. Side 2 is entirely different, focusing on folk
music and singer/songwriter styled material that fail to impress.
It's doubtful that the same person would appreciate both sides, but
the heavy side might appeal to genre collectors. It's neither a very
rare nor expensive album, so anyone possibly interested in it will be
able to pick it up cheap.
