On this, Annie Lykke is new vocalist in replacement of Kate Sand, in '69 they were expanded to a quintet with Alice Anders on vocals, and for a time they played as a sextet with the addition of Annelise Brixager, also as vocalist, before dissolving in 1970.
The A-side track is a cover by Carlo Donida and with Danish lyrics by Peter Mynte, and the B-side is a cover by Perez Pilar with Danish lyrics by Peter Spar.
The single was part of my parents record collection, and it's an item that I never found entertaining, although, it's part of my first music memories that wasn't purely children's songs.
