Reissue of Philemon Arthur and the Dung's debut album, originally released in 1972. Comes with a bonus 12" where Philemon Arthur play a Bob Hund track, and Bob Hund play Philemon Arthur.
Two still anonymous youngsters from Skåne, in the far south of Sweden are making music that divide music Sweden in two halves with their bold vocals, experimental lyrics and fantastic songs.
Either you love them or the opposite. Clearly there are influences from early rock bands as Velvet Underground and Rolling Stones and others.
But they make something completely of their own out of it with accordion, guitar, biscuit jars, granny's radiator and some other stuff.
1972 they were awarded a Swedish Grammis. Of course there was no one to receive it. The Grammy awards were shut down for 15 years after that.
