6th studio album by Danish pop / rock satire band Shu-bi-dua following the album 78'eren (1978).
The album was one of my own early vinyl purchases as a young teenager - here at age 14. I purchased this at a time, when the band was probably at their peak in terms of popularity. You would hear their music on the radio on a daily basis, and in school everyone thought they played good music but in essence was really popular because they understood to write really funny and clever songs. This very album remains my only purchase of their albums in vinyl format, but I was quite familiar with all their albums. After this, I got to know a whole new type of music, new wave bands and shortly after, I submerged into the world of punk rock and Shu-Bi-Dua was no longer a band I found that interesting. But the band and a long list of its classics played a major part of my musical upbringing and I listened to their songs from their debut from '74 and up until around their eigth album from '82 after which they only occasionally popped up - and then mostly playing for a much older audience.
