ÓTIMA BANDA DE BLUES PSICODÉLICA DA FINLÂNDIA!! A BANDA TEVE VIDA CURTA ENTRE 1967-1969!! A GRANDE CURIOSIDADE É QUE O BAIXISTA E O VOCALISTA, POSTERIORMENTE, FIZERAM PARTE DA ÓTIMA BANDA "TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI"!! VALE A PENA CONFERIR ESTE VENENO PELO SOM E PELA RARIDADE!!From PhinnWeb:
I think Blues Section would be THE Finnish band to fit best in the psychedelic underground and even garage spirit. Their career was short-lived (1967-69), in which time they managed to create some classic songs from Hendrix/Cream/John Mayall-influenced blues to pop and jazz-tinged psychedelia. Their 'Cherry Cup-Cake Twist' would well fit in its strangeness to any Nuggets or Pebbles-style collections; 'Semi-Circle Solitude' is one of the finest pop anthems to ever come out of Finland, and 'Hey Hey Hey' is pure, hard-biting electric garage.
Blues Section's saxophone player Eero Koivistoinen would record in 1968 the legendary Valtakunta album, with Hasse Walli and Ronnie Österberg of Blues Section among the musicians there. Jim Pembroke, the British expatriate vocalist and song-writer for Blues Section, would later form with Österberg Wigwam, the biggest progressive rock band in Finland; Blues Section's bassist Måns Groundstroem and Pembroke's vocalist successor Frank Robson would appear in Tasavallan Presidentti, Wigwam's greatest prog rival in Finland - but that's another story...

The U.S. release of WIGWAM'S "TOMBSTONE VALENTINE" was a 2 LP set (ON MGM'S VERVE/FORCAST LABEL FTS-3089-2)and included 5 tracks from The BLUES SECTION album.
"ANSWER TO LIFE" / "WOLF AT THE DOOR" / "APARTMENT 51" / "BIRD OF PARADISE" & "CALL ME ON THE TELEPHONE" T/V also included, what I think was a Blues Section single, "Cherry Cup Cake" .... I searched for over 20 years for this recording, thank you for posting it. I now would like to find out who recorded the the Big Band track on the U.S. Tombstone Valentin LP, "ANNA SUKKO VAIN". The producer, Kim Fowley, used every thing he could find on this WIGWAM'S maiden U.S. release as double LP's were all the rage about that time, too bad he did not give credit where credit was due.
The US version of Tombstone Valentine was my very first Wigwam album.
Here is the info you requested:
Kirka Babitzin & Blues Section - Anna suukko vain / Silloin ihminen kaunein on (Love Records LRS 1007 - 1967)
Any chance you could reupload this years later?
