ADDITIONAL NOTES:

INCREDIBLY RARE 1967 Swedish beat pop album by the Slam Creepers, which sounds like the kind of band name that got lost somewhere in translation. What is a Slam Creeper anyway? Beats me. The important thing to know is that these Swedes had two albums – Sweet Ruth, their first, and Bubbles, their second and last. Both are rarer than teeth on an Alabama Wal-Mart checkout lady. And both have some great psych pop songs alongside some really annoying old-time Vaudeville rabbit pellets. Just like a Kinks album. The Slam Creepers aren’t as well-known as the Kinks because, well, they’re Swedes, and it’s hard to find either of their albums outside of Stockholm. And because no one really knows what a Slam Creeper is anyway. Sweet Ruth’s keepers include the mystical chant-like tripper “Livin’ With Lies,” the groovy organ and fuzz gogo shaker title track, and the chunky Vanilla Fudge-ified cover of the Beatles “I Should Have Known Better.” And the blue-eyed soul pop of “Ha Ha Ha,” which really could’ve come off a Small Faces album, it’s that good. And while we’re at it, what exactly is a Small Face anyway?
