Great album. I have the cd reissue.
We used to play "just like a woman" with my band The Indikation.
I'm do not really know what's happening in todays 60's garage/psych-revival scene but if you ever come with your band near Frankfurt let me know.
Sorry. We disbanded earlier this year. Please Check out http://www.myspace.com/theindikation
Great album! And my first chance to hear it =) Many thanks!
This is a fantastic album, easily one of the best made in the 60s. What's more the bonus tracks are as good as the album tracks. I can't believe Tages are still almost completely unknown today.
I was just having a look around, went back and listened to TAGES a lot lately that resulted in a post in my blog...
This is perhaps their best as an album, plenty of great stuff all through their records, many of them, in fact this is their FIFTH album, after Tages, Tages 2, Extra Extra and Contrast, maybe this last one an even better album!
what about OLA & The JANGLERS 2nd and 3rd LP anyone?
ah!
the Indikation, from Norway...cool!
i like their album and especially the single before it!
Tages was a band from Gothenburg (Göteborg)not Stockholm.
You're definitely right. They were from Gothenburg. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks for this album - I was unaware of it until recently, and it's very good indeed - should be much better known. Classic pop-psych. Thanks!
Thanx a lot!
