Prunes
Crystal Records 126 - available on cassette and LP
In Norway, the word "Sviske" (prune) in musical circles means a piece of music familiar and/or easy to listen to, rather like the meaning of the word 'chestnut' in English. This album was compiled and recorded with great respect and reverence to the concept of the prune.
