ALBUM REVIEW
A digitally remastered CD with the most popular songs of the classic Swedish Prog group 'Swedish Family'. After months of hard work, restoring the original tapes we can now proudly present the album 'Vintage Prog'. 'Vintage Prog' is a collectors item, including the greatest hits from all their 10 albums! From the first album 'Säj Det På Ryska' (Success In Moscow) to 'Hungrig I Ungern' (Hungry In Hungary). The names behind 'Swedish Family' belong to prog history: Redar Gitsdorf (Guitar) Veke Berg (Bass) Hadde Wattnåt (Drums) Inge Naning (Rhodes Piano/Minimoog) Bo Dean (Hammond Organ) Britt-Marie (Tambourine) ...and of course all the guest stars. 'Swedish Family' was one of the top bands in the late sixties and they kept on going for almost 10 years. The band was a true inspiration to most of the bands during this period. 'Swedish Family' picked up there melodies from the tradition of Swedish folk music, rock and classic styles. They blended it all into a unique mix, that came to be so well known and loved. 'Vintage Prog' is the first CD release of the 'Swedish Family' and also a chance to get all their best songs in one go! (Just for Kicks)
