FREDI 12 tr Finnish LP EUROVISION '67 (+ Rokes version!)

Fazer SFLP 9500, orig. -69, this 70's reissue; M-/EX+

An early 70's reissue of an original album w/ original finnish version of Varjoon, suojaan, Finlands Eurovision Song Contest finalist -67 (12th).
Fredi (Matti Siitonen) made an even greater impression while introducing Pump Pump - song AND dance - in -76. Then he turned a skillful songwriter and composed Katson sineen taivaan, Finnish ESC entry of '79.

This brilliant album is full of great Trent-Hatch-style pop songs, best ones being of Italian origin,
like La Bambola (Pieni nukke).
 "Onhan paiva..." is a version of Grass Roots' Let's Live for Today, which was a version of Rokes' psych-pop classic Piangi con me - which was actually plagiated from Drifters' I'll Count the Tears. Multi-layered pop history here!

Sleeve / record grading

Note: All grading is done by eye (jacket first), with more than 30 years of experience. I have tried to be VERY strict to avoid nasty surprises. Your money back, if my grading is false! Ringwear, adhesive tape, price tags or their remains, pen markings et al are separately noted.

Sealed = Not opened. The shrink wrap or other seal may be slightly torn but clearly the record has never been taken out of its cover.

M (Mint) = Perfect, looks like never been played - but of course You can never be absolutely sure.

M- = Near mint, has been to a Good Owner, who played it very carefully and probably not many times.

EX+ (Excellent +) = Has been to a Good Owner or two, who played it carefully and handled it as well as You or I but there are minor signs of use.

EX = A record that is clearly a used one but should satisfy most collectors. Possibly light, not audible scratches. Sleeve corners or edges may be slightly worn, but no seams are split.

EX- = Totally playable, but perhaps not any more VERY collectible. Light scratches may snap occasionally.

VG+ (Very Good +) = Should be enjoyable from beginning to end, but one or two deeper scratches would seriously limit the fun. I try to specify the location of damage.

I don't sell records in condition worse than VG+, unless they belong to an interesting collection.
I have used this grading in Finland and I apologize, if it differs substantially from gradings You are more familiar with.
