Hmmm...apart from Secret Service and Army Of Lovers I don't recall any of these. I suppose I should though, since we're practically neighbors :roll:

The group Fingerprintz who had the album "Beat Noir" are Swedish?! Just looked at the credits and it looks like a UK outfit to me.

[Kjelle]

Hi Bernie!

Maybe there`s two groups with the same name?
The swedish Fingerprints had a couple of hits back in the 80`s!

Fingerprints or Fingerprintz? The latter was a UK act, somewhere between rock and new wave, who were signed to Virgin around '79 - '80. They did 2 albums but had no major hits.

I have bought a SECRET SERVICE LP from fellow forum member CHARLIE. Its called CUTTIN CORNERS.. 8)

[Kjelle]

Great album Cutting corners!
I think i still have that Aux deux magots album somewhere maybe willing to sell it?
That even goes for 12"Yesica and Do it(Great pop/disco!)

About Fingeprints(not with Z)!! they release Time is all
we need and Make my day on 12"(i still have Make..) and
the 7"Dont you wanna get to know me(Still have)

Dont forget French Revolution and Lights from fantasia!
I`ll soon sell the album on the forum

About Carola-Hunger.That was an surprise but i think she
made it for the dancefloor
She won the eurovision song contest man years ago with
a song called främling
Very very big hit in sweden!
Still have the 7" Brand new heart for sale!

Me again, with my Eurovision anorak head on...

Sorry, Carola didn't win Eurovision in 1983 with "Framling", she came 2nd...but she DID win in 1991 with "Captured By A Love Storm"...both good songs though!!! :D

[Kjelle]

Sorry i dont mean the big one(eurovison song contest)

I know Lili & Sussie from your list, I have the 12" for "We Were Only Dancing" which is pretty cute. They look like they've spent a bit too much time in the sunshine on the cover though!

[Kjelle]

Good one that`s for sure but i think Oh mama(us mix) is better!
Oh mama is for sale if anyone is interested!!
I agree i think they spend most of the time(in the 80`s)in the
sun and try to look as good as possible
Lili is spending most of her time taking care of hurted animals
during the last years!

I know most of them (and that's nothing I'm proud of)

Paul Rein - Sex, I hate that record.

S.T.O.P - Don't stop (is OK), Kool Katt (is terrible) (I think it was written for a Christer Sandelin "post Style" musical project.

Sandelin/Ekman was writing/producing a lot of dance and pop records for a lot of new swedish artists the years after their great commercial success with the group Style /Freestyle.

Secret Service was huge in Europe.

I'll add a few and see if someone heard of them:

C Sandelin did a decent cover of "Automatic Lover" under the name "Wish"

Savannah-Keep on Lovin me (-79/80) was very "disco" It was a minor hit in Germany.

[Kjelle]

Hi Noman!

Sorry that you dont like the swedish 80`s to much!
I think there is some records worth mention
In fact i still have keep on loving you on 7"
Still think it`s a good one!
What do you think about Visitores and So what?

Can I confess here that I really love Clabbe's grandiose "An Evening In Paris (Decadancing)"?
