SAFT- same
Original 1971 1st press on Polydor 2382 009 as seen on Pokora vol 2001 Page 48 with a 3 stars rating. This is IMPOSSIBLE to find. The music is some of the best released in all of Scandinavia . Some haunting songs, some very hard psych and one MINDBLOWING cover version of Eleanor Rigby, check it out below. European heavy progressive of the highest calibre. As good as first Junipher Greene but to my opinion much rarer.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition and the record is in good condition.
Here is a description from the prog not frog blog. There you can listen to a few tracks.
Saft was a band from the Norwegian city of Bergen, formed in 1969-70, and disbanded in the spring of 1974. They've had several re-unions since then. Saft were one of the first bands in Norway to sing in nynorsk. (“Fjøsvise” in 1971), and one of the first to mix hardingfiddle with rock (“Halling” with Sigbjørn Berntoft Osa in 1973). Saft also wrote musical history when they won “Europatoppen” with the song “People In Motion” in November 1971.
Their debutalbum ”Saft” was the first of three major albums the band recorded. The musical was unusually varied, ranging from progressive rock, Norwegian middle-age ballads, classical music and heavy metal. The best known song from the album is “All The Time”. Ove Thue had based the lyrics around a slogan originating from the USA during the Vietnam war: “Fighting for freedom is like f*cking for virginity”. This was used as the chorus, which too proved too much for the BBC. The powerful radiochannel refused to play the album when it was send in as a Norwegian contribution to Europatoppen in 1971. Saft replied by printing “Censored by BBC” on the cover to the single – which showed a photograph of a naked Ove Thue. The record was eventually played, but the naughty words were bleeped out.
