After 3 decades of Abbamania isn't it time to survey the disco history of Sweden? Was there anything else out there worth dancing to? Ask Swedes today and they say NO, absolutely not. This kind of strong appalled reaction of course indicates that they've got something to hide. In my country our own guilty disco pleasures have recently been dragged out of the shadows - a wonderfully named British publication Sleaze covered it all last month - so maybe the Swedish will follow. Last week I spent 3 days in Stockholm digging out stuff and came up with some titles any ardent lover of decadancing should take note of. First, there was a full 7-minute 12" version of Clabbe's "An Evening In Paris (Deca-Dancing) , pressed on white vinyl. Clabbe was a Swedish Cerrone lookalike with a perm and a mullet, and this track is a fast and hysterical prototype of the later Army of Lovers campfests. Clabbe feels a new exotic power and rushes out to climb the Eiffel tower after witnessing nylon clad feet kicking the booty in a Quartier Latin discothéque. Then there was a whole Clabbe album with odd titles like "Disco Shack" and "Fan Club on the Moon" but with no real howlers like "Evening...". Then I came across Hans Edler's "Space Vision". This rides the Moroder wave of electronica with Amanda Lear-esque vocals and moody melodies. Most of the tunes are dark but there's a surprising version of "Chiquitita" too to lighten the lp up. "What is this like?" I asked the guy at Snickars Records, one of the coolest vinyl stores in town. They said it was crap of course but it turned out to be great. So, Swedish fans, what's the deal? Anything else we should learn about? Something good, not Svenne&Lotta! I hear Lill Lindfors had a disco track out, what's it called?
