NOREGS PUNKLAG - Jeg Sitter Bare Her Og Kjeder Meg 7'' 1978

Depending on what you call Punk, this might be the first vinyl-offer in Punk from Norway (along with SUBWAY SUCK) back from 1977-78. While this is more light-weight compared to the bit later releases by KjøttOSLO BØRS and Hærverk it had already the Punk-Wave touch and strong rock elements added to round up the whole (the usual thing with bands that claimed Punk but mostly in the fashion-sense of word). 'Du Er Eit Svin' (it could be anything but YOU ARE A SWINE translated) is a remake of 'God Save The Queen' approaching slightly the ineptitude sort of Punk/Rock. The B-side, (translated 'I'm Just Sitting Here Bored') possibly a WHO remake, is less appealing but not totally different to the 1st song. The singer, as legions back then, carbon-copies Johnny Rotten despite being on a bigger label. It's hard to get, maybe also 'cos one member is often seen in the Norwegian TV these days? Nice paper-bag sleeve, too.
