“Behind this ambitious 1968 "concept" album was the multi-talent Eero Koivistoinen, best known from the legendary Finnish psychedelic rock band Blues Section and after that for his highly-appreciated jazz albums such as Wahoo!. The publisher was not any established record label but Otava, one of the traditional book publishing houses in Finland, and the album's songs even had their broadcast premiere in a literature show of Finnish Radio! Music here - clearly influenced by The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper - is a diverse combination of jazz, ballads, cabaret songs and raw psychedelic underground rock, with many of the same musicians who appeared with Blues Section and Suomen Talvisota 1939-1940. The lyrics are from famous Finnish poets Pentti Saarikoski, Jarkko Laine, Tuomas Anhava and Hannu Mäkelä. As vocalists are heard Finnish pop singers of the time such as Eero Raittinen (from famous Finnish prog band Tasavallan Presidentti), Koivistoinen himself, the actor/singer Vesa-Matti Loiri and the chanteuse Seija Simola. It's a shame this album is hard to come by these days, since this is musically and lyrically a missing link between the "literary albums" of the day (where famous writers and poets could be heard reciting their own works), the popular Brecht-like cabaret songs and ballads of Kaj Chydenius and Finnish underground rock of the 1960s, such as Blues Section and Suomen Talvisota.â€
