A hidden treasure, and one of my favorite from norweigan scene. Bridges - Fakkeltog (Summer 1980)
Pål Waaktaar and Magne Furuholmen's first group was called Bridges. They released a self-financed LP on the record company Våkenatt in Norway only called "Fakkeltog" (Torch-light procession). 1000 copies were made, but very few of them sold. Not many are in great condition eighter The music is heavily influenced and inspired by The Doors. This record is the most sought-after record among a-ha fans and you must expect to pay an awful lot of money to get your hands on a copy of this record.
The LP has a home-made cover design (photo by Fritz Johannesen) which shows the faces of the group members. In the background there is some text (apparently Norwegian lyrics). The back of the cover shows a field with more lyrics printed upon it. This is not the complete lyrics for the album, only drafts and excerpts. The record in itself is quite unique as it has a stop mark on side B. This is done to divide the record into the three seperate parts called "The Oncoming Of Day", "The Oncoming" and "The Oncoming Of Night".One side of the LP has a black label with grey text listing the tracks for "The Oncoming Of Night". "Våkenatt Presenterer" and "Bridges..." have been printed in large grey capital letters above the track list. The other side of the LP has a white disc label. The top half features red text with "...Fakkeltog" and track list for "The Oncoming". The bottom half of the label lists the tracks for "The Oncoming Of Day" in black text which is printed upside down compared to the text in the top half. A black line divides the top and bottom sections of the label.
