AllMusic |     [1] |
The album is composed of rock standards, including "What'd I Say", "Surfin' Bird" and "If You Need Me",[5] but also features the band's hit singles of the time, such as the opening track, "Farmer John", "Bald Headed Woman", "No Response" and "So Mystifying", all of which had been hits on both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp.[6][7] On "Cadillac", Lennart Fernholm, the band's tour manager, introduces the band by their nicknames, which were "Chrille" (Christer Pettersson), "Janne" (Janne Frisk), "Lelle" (Lennart Hegland), "Benne" (Benny Andersson) and "Svenne" (Svenne Hedlund).
Nonetheless the album became a huge success in Sweden, reaching number two on LP-Toppen (LP-Top) after The Beatles Rubber Soul.[8] The album was a favorite of Per Gessle when he was younger.[9] The album was remastered and re-issued in 1996, with added content, consisting of singles and B-sides.[10]
