Purple Haze were the continuation of Plebb who released the excessively rare ”Yes It Isn't It” on their own label in 1979. The hard rock leanings of Plebb were mixed up with an AOR style in Purple Haze. Although ”Yes It Isn't It” wasn't a particularly great album, it was better than ”Det är så man undrar...”. The vocals are still the weakest link – I hear what Purple Haze are trying to do, but they don't get there because of the lacklustre singing.
Originally a mini album of six tracks,
”Det är så man undrar...” was expanded with four songs when
reissued on streaming platforms in 2013. There's no info on when
those were recorded but they sound similar to the original album so
perhaps they were outtakes left off to cut pressing costs. Ironically
enough, their best track ”Koppla av” is among them. It's not
great, but a tad better than anything on the original release.
