Never heard of this man but he seems to be very popular in its home country and this 7Inch is the title track of his 4th album, a decent rock number while the B-side has a live cut which also stomping. Here's a bit info: "Magnus Uggla is a Swedish artist, composer, actor, and occasional radio host known for his satirical lyrics. Uggla was the lead singer of the hard rock band JUSO (later renamed Alexander Lucas) before going solo in the early 70's. Their influences were Black Sabbath, The Groundhogs and Alice Cooper among others. Uggla's first two glam- and art rock-inspired albums Om Bobbo Viking and Livets teater didn't sell well, the first only about 500 copies in Sweden and Livets teater even less. But his departure from glam rock with the punk and hard rock inspired gained him much popularity and the album sold about 150 000 copies. In the 1970s, several music magazines gave Magnus the name "The Swedish Ian Hunter". In 1979, he was one of the members in Magnus Uggla Band. Plastic Bertrand has recorded a French version of Magnus Uggla's song "Vittring". It's called "Rock'n'Roll je te hais" and is found on Bertrand's LP L'Album."
