Arbete and Fritid
Arbete och Fritid
$17.99
Before there was Hoven Droven and Garmarna, there was a heavy-folk rock band called Arbete and Fritid, the Jethro Tull or Fairport of Sweden (with maybe a bit of the Fugs thrown in for good measure?), with their heavy brass, electric guitars, fiddles and flutes making the 1970s in Sweden shake and rumble. They were alternately loud or elegant... vibrant and often quite wry. These early 1970s recordings were as amazing as anything being produced in England or the US at the time, merging all manner of sounds from hard rock to Medieval regality in a scattershot of musical madness. Quintessential late 60s pop with a folk flair.
They eventually evolved into a much harsher experimental band, far different from these decidedly folkie recordings, so if you hated them in the 80s, you might love them in the 70s, and vice versa.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
