Kyllähän Yle Teema on esittänyt Wigujen Pop-Liisaa vuosien varrella vaikka kuinka monta kertaa.

Näyttäisi että on kokonainen Pop Liisa konsertti oleamassa josta toi allaoleva video. Miksei äänite ole tullut esille? 1976-11-25

Nyt näitä YLEn videoita on kasaantunut aika paljon Youtubeen. Simple human kindness. https://youtu.be/4R4E7qK5Xxg

Sori negatiivisuuteni, mutta näin just "Live At Natsan" sisäkannen ja en tajua miksi sinne laitettiin Suosikin julistekuva joka olisi sopinut miljoona kertaa paremmin kanteen kuin se sumeahko Karjalaisen sanomalehtifoto. Tekisi mieli ostaa vinyyli ja askarrella kansista eri versio.

OK. Sonet did get some deals abroad. I remember picking up Tsugu Way and one other HurriganesLP in American stores. Must have been in the import bin. Difficult to guess what the other bands that Love first recorded eventually sold some albums abroad, aside from Wigwam with Virgin. Love was a bit of a springboard to fame if you wanted outside of Finland. In the domestic market, Love was making some profit. I imagine Juice Leskinen was a big seller. And Hurriganes was huge in Scandinavia.

Esaji don't forget that lambertland was released in the uk on sonet whereas being
has never been issued here on vinyl and only got a cd release in 2010, from my own
experience i can tell you it was almost impossible to buy being or any of the early
albums here, i even wrote a letter to love records and got a nice reply from christian schwindt,
but it was late 1975 when virgin records made a few copies available by mail order
after the reasonable success of nuclear nightclub that i finally got a copy, it is still my
favorite album of all time.
Also we should remember that pressa appeared on the bbc twice, but wigwam were
never on tv here, so i'm sure that lambertland would have sold many times more copies
than being, partly because it was just so difficult to get those early albums here.

Looking into both Wigwam and Pressa, both bands generated interest in the UK about '72-75. The Wigwam era had the major in the band, but the press still covered all the releases. What I wondered was that was Lambertland the winner as far as sales, over Being? Being got some support in Scandinavia for sure. Claes Johansen might know, but I have lost touch with him.

Now that the Finns have got to reading the books they got earlier or for Christmas, I thought it safe to add the lines about Pohjola joining. Had to back translate to get the rough meaning in English. It's in the blog now.

Olisi tuokin kiva kuulla, keitä Pembroke-tribuutti-illassa esiintyy. Ihan summassa ei ehkä hotsita lähteä.

Voisi tuo Pembroken muistokonsertti sopia paremmin Kultsalle tai jopa Finlandiatalolle?
Mustanpuhuva rokkikellarilta vaikuttava luola ei tälläisiä vanhempia faneja oikein puhuttele,
vaikka oikealla asialla tunnutaankin olevan.
Hatunnosto Colossus ry:lle kuitenkin urheudesta ja hyvästä aikomuksesta.

Continuing on the lyrics theme, someone did a nice job putting in lyrics to the Kite video.

I have the Danish radio version of A Better Hold and it is much the same as the one I attempted to write down below. Probably also the Svart disc with the Stockholm concert. If you do not have the energy to order the Töölönranta disc, the version was already in the Fresh Garbage - Rarities 1969-1977 set. That two disc is a must for the Wigwam collector, it has the important singles. I used to have a cassette of the singles back in the day, as I still have most of the 45s.

Oh my sweet Elisa
Something that I had to say
And I don’t think it can wait
Till tomorrow.
I’ve been lately coming down
With those same old no good blues
And I don’t think I can take it…very long.
I waited through the summer,
All that winter too,
…ever….gotta do about…what went wrong,
I’ve been lately coming down
With those same old no god blues.
And I don’t think I can take it very long.
Woo-oo, I need you honey and I want to say,
Every night and day,
…ain’t no knowing and it’s just as well,
But time will tell, but I know it,
To my soul,
Before we go and lose control,
So we’ve got to get a better hold….
