SWEDEN ONLY LIMITED RELEASE
En Halsning Till Vara Parkarrangorer
En Halsning Till Vara Parkarrangorer
Single - Polar POR 01
Sweden 1972
Giveaway Side A Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida, Side B Lena Andersson and Ted Gardestad. En Halsning Till Vara Parkarrangorer (A greeting to our park arrangers), is a promotional only record which was given away to people who helped the artists with everything sorrounding the Swedish Folk Park Tours. Side A starts with the sound of a cuckoo and and water, as if someone is paddling in a boat. After some seconds with sounds of nature, People need love starts playing. Then Frida, Agnetha, Bjorn and Benny start to talk. They welcome the listeners, saying who they are and that they want to go on tour together that summer (1972), which they have hoped to do for a long time, but for several reasons it wasn't possible up till now. They also say they will go on that summer tour with two or three additional musicians. Then a snippet of Frida's Man Vill Ju Leva Lite Dessemellan is played, after which Agnetha says that it's a bit early to say what they will play, but they will have their own material and Bjorn says if you want to see them on TV then you should follow the Eurovision's Festival Program where they plan to appear. Probably the listener will see them on their Folk Park Tour - Hej da! Towards the end, Agnetha's Sa Glad Som Dina Ogon is played, before it is faded out with some people laughing in the background.... The B-Side includes greetings with Music by Lena Andersson and Ted Gardestad. It alsounds like Bjorn saying something about Lena Andersson! (Contributed by: Adrian Keller, Switzerland)
