From Album Claes af Geijerstam " Out Of My Hair" 1970 Swedish Psych Rock
Formerly with Ola & The Janglers, and later a popular national radio show host, this solo LP is one of the lesser known items in Claes Af Geijerstam's long resumé. It is in fact one of the best Swedish albums I've heard from the era, with a powerful, Brit-style melodic prog-rock sound mixed with mature Anglo-pop like later-day Tages. The list of session names is impressive and includes flautist Bjorn Jayson Lindh and guitarist Janne Schaffer, both of whom gained international recognition as musicians later in the 1970s. Schaffer contributes cutting feedback guitar leads throughout the album, with a peak in two long, freaky tracks..
