Gyllene Tider

Gyllene Tider’s clear vinyl

by

gylleneclear

As GT informed about it on Facebook and we could see it in our mailboxes, there was a mistake in the factory and ”Singel #2 / Dags att tänka på refrängen” single – which was planned to be a clear vinyl – has been released on standard black vinyl. It will be a rare item it seems.

Bengans informs in their newsletter that the transparent version is out on 6th December. You can contact them if you want a replacement of your black vinyl. They write they would send the clear vinyl as a replacement, not on top. Just contact them that you want to have the clear version, too and let’s see if they can send it the way Ginza does. They confirmed they will send us the clear version automatically, free of charge once it is on stock at them.

Tracklist of the double A-side vinyl single:

A1: Singel #2

A2: Dags att tänka på refrängen
A3: Dags att tänka på refrängen #2

 

 

”Singel #2” has 3 verses instead of 2, just like in the demo version and the vinyl is a must if you are a fan of Micke Syd’s voice, since in the first verse of ”Dags att tänka på refrängen #2” Mr Gessle and Micke Syd are singing a duet. Quite an interesting version if you ask me. 😉

Thanx for the info re Bengans newsletter to Nicol Roxette.

Gyllene Tider’s song in the final

by

You might remember the first 3 shows of this year’s Alla tiders hits on SVT since there were Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle and Gyllene Tider songs performed by other artists. Panetoz, the guys who presented Gyllene Tider’s ”När vi två blir en” got into the final and performed the song tonight again. Before they went on stage, Micke Syd wished them good luck via a video message. Click here to watch it (he appears at 9:44). This is a screenshot from that video:

Nothing can beat the original, of course, but Panetoz’s interpretation of the song is totally different to the ”När vi två blir en” we know and this makes it a completely new song, both in sound and in the lyrics. The audience liked it a lot and was singing along, as well as dancing together with them, but this time it wasn’t enough to win (winner: Timo Räisänen – Lyckliga gatan/Anna-Lena Löfgren). Click here to watch Panetoz’s performance.

All the videos related anyhow to Miss Effe, PG and GT in Alla tiders hits you can find in our earlier article. Just click HERE.

 

Gyllene Tider of all time

by

As you might remember, we already informed you that a road movie biography about Gyllene Tider is on the way. The working title of the book was ”Bandet som inte finns” (= ”The band that doesn’t exist”), which I liked a lot, because it was a really creative title. The author, Jan-Owe Wikström finally changed it to ”Alla tiders Gyllene Tider” (= ”Gyllene Tider of all time”). Actually, this also sounds good. Finishing touches are being put on the book as you could see Per’s photo today on Facebook.

The biography is published on 15th November and can already be pre-ordered at many places: Bengans, Ginza, Bokus, Adlibris, CDon, Bokextra. The hardcover book consists of 240 pages and most probably contains a lot of photos, as Anders Roos took about 20000 shots during the tour. It must have been hard to choose which pics to put in the book, which is of course in Swedish.

 

Alla_tiders_Gyllene_TiderOverview:

“Gyllene Tider is a piece of Swedish music history and today is as “blue and yellow” as the Three Crowns, the crisp bread, Zlatan and the Dala horse.
When Anders Herrlin quit with the band in 1985, he didn’t know what he really left behind. 28 years later nearly a million people saw the band during their three comebacks: 1996, 2004 and 2013. Despite the fact that the band has not existed since that March day in 1985.
The road movie book “Alla tiders Gyllene Tider”, with a foreword by Per Gessle, is a unique insight into a band’s life that went from teenage hysteria to people’s home nostalgia for summer euphoria and, for decades, from the late ’70s to today has gathered young and old, hard rockers and dance band lovers in a candy store of pop pralines.
Jan-Owe Wikström, together with photographer Anders Roos followed the band on their “Dags att tänka på refrängen” tour in the summer of 2013. A journey through time and space, where a road sign, a venue, a café or an event takes us 20-30 years back in time to the hysterical and funny, but also to the black and dark moments.
It’s also a journey with Gyllene Tider on stage, but mainly behind the scenes, during the recordings and rehearsals, as well as a trip with the fans. And of course with the crew, the staff who are mixing and building and pulling down.
In addition, the book provides personal portraits of the band members and their everyday lives outside Gyllene Tider and it brings you closer to the secret behind Per Gessle’s hit-making talent.”
