HARALD ”BAGARN” ANDERSSON, ANNA-LISA GRÖNHOLM & SVEN TJUSLINGS TRIO – Stjärnsmällar och tjuvnyp (Proletärkultur, 1978)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: -

Another leftleftleftwing release from Proletärkultur to go along with compilations ”Stöd de strejkandehamnarbetarna”, ”Hör maskinernas sång”, and albums by Dan Berglund and Maria Hörnelius. The 'star' here must be Harald ”Bagarn” Andersson, a baker, actor and local character who shares the vocal duties with sometime actor Anna-Lisa Grönholm. Unless you count the political message, there's not much progg to expect here. The music is more towards 30's and 40's couplets with that overdone singing style verging on speech. It's otherwise well played and the sound is professional (recorded in Nacksving's state-of-the-art studio) but it's incredibly boring – definitely one of the weaker Proletärkultur outings. It's best left untouched in the cheapo bins where you're most likely to find it.
