Swedish high energy rockers THE HELLACOPTERS have been celebrating their 30th anniversary recently and after releasing something new - the much-lauded "Overdriver" album on January 31, 2025, which reached No. 1 in the Swedish charts for the second time in the group's career - it is time to offer their dedicated fanbase something truly nostalgic. "Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works o Volume 3" is the long-overdue follow-up in a series of rarities collections started in 2002 combining material from a myriad of singles, EPs, and compilations. The 24 tracks featured in this set have originally been released between 1995 and 2004, and include originals like 'Disappointment Blues', 'Freeway To Hell', 'Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul' and 'Long Gone Losers' as well as many cover versions of songs by Motörhead, Wilson Pickett, MC5, Smokey Robsinson, Alice Cooper, the Ramones, the Nomads, and Adam West - whose singer Jake Starr penned liner notes for this release - and many, many more. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson, transferred from master tapes and vinyl by Henke Jonsson, and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, THE HELLACOPTERS proudly present a stunning collection of incredible, high-octane rock'n'roll on this over 75 minutes long double vinyl.

50th anniversary half-speed mastered LP.<br/>This new pressing of PIN UPS was cut on a customised late Neumann VMS80 lathe with fully recapped electronics from 192kHz restored masters of the original master tapes, with no additional processing on transfer. John Webber cut the half-speed at AIR Studios.<br/> <br/>Recorded at Château d'Hérouville in France, where Bowie would later return to record the masterpiece LOW, PIN UPS was a collection of cover songs paying tribute to bands and artists that had inspired him and that he had seen at clubs such as The Marquee in London in the mid to late 60s. Artists he covered for the album included The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, The Who, Pretty Things, The Easybeats and more.

För första gången släpps nu Olle Ljungströms album Tack på vinyl. Plattan gavs för första gången ut 1995 och är producerad av Dan Sundquist, bandkollega med Olle i Reeperbahn. Med låtar som Överallt, Norrländska präriens gudinna, Som du och Bara himlen ser på (Eric Gadd-cover) fick den fina recensionen och tog sig dessutom upp på topplistorna.<br/><br/>En låt som saknades på originalutgåvan var titelspåret Tack. Den skrevs och spelades in strax efter att albumet hade släppts. Tanken var att den skulle ges ut som en sommarsingel inför turnén 1996. Men den hann aldrig tillverkas och glömdes därefter bort. Nu är den dock upphittad efter att ha legat i ett arkiv hemma hos producenten Magnus Frykberg.<br/><br/>Tack får nu inleda 31-årsjubileumsutgåvan av albumet med samma namn. Plattan avslutas dessutom av den tänkta B-sidan Je suis une biciclette.
