Tages - She's Having a Baby Now, 1967

Posted by www.nostalgoteket.se Tages were a Swedish rock and roll/psychedelic/folk band formed in the early sixties near Gothenburg.
The band released a number of singles and LPs in their native Sweden to considerable success, making the Swedish Top Ten more than a dozen times. Though remembered as one of the finest non-English speaking bands of the 1960s, they failed to ever really break into the US or UK markets. Tages also produced one of the worlds first psychedelic albums, named "Extra Extra" in 1966. Then they wanted to create pop-music that was totally Swedish by learning old Swedish folk-music. After this, they produced their fifth and last album named "Studio" in Abbey Road Studio in 1967. The album is influenced by Swedish folk music and psychedelia. It is also remembered as the finest album from the sixties, from an non-English speaking country. It is also remembered as "The Sgt Pepper Of Sweden", not because it sounds like The Beatles but because it is totally original. In 1968 the band released the fondly remembered single "Fantasy Island", this was followed up by their last single; "Halcyon Days". Several band members went on to form Blond, a short-lived pop band that released one LP in US before disbanding in 1970.
This song was banned by the BBC, because it is about teenage pregnacy.
The clip is from the British movie Georgy Girl starring Lynn Redgrave.

För att vara en video från 60-talet är den här fullkomligt outstanding, så jävla bra. Och låten är fullt i klass med Beatles, Stones och Beach Boys
