Okay, this might not be 100% Sweet-related- but I think many Sweet-fans will find it interesting. (Please move the topic if you like Stewart)

The book is in Swedish, but I *still* think many non Swedish Sweet-fans will find it interesting, due to nature of the pop-mag which was more pictures than text, even more so than for the ofther pop-mags. Most famous of course their picture of "Mick in the nude"! ( I've no idea if that pic is in the book though)

The release date is late November.

A must have for me!

Here's a link to information in English about the book:

Oh, nice one Elisabeth! I remember Poster like it was yesterday. Together with Tiffany (with a little more text in it then) it was THE magazine to buy when we grew up here in Sweden (it started around 1974). How we swopped those cool posters between us, and how we "wallpapered" our boys- and girls-rooms with them too. They were awesome. Sweet - together with Abba - were the superstars, and obligatory in each number up until around 1976 when Kiss took over as the "court jesters"... There were many cool live posters over the years(also one from Gröna Lund 1976 I seem to recall!), also of other bands. I know young Henka's been a big 'retro-active' collector; and I know that you also met Lars O Grönstedt, Elisabeth).

I'll buy that book! (I know they were looking for contributing texts/witnesses there for while, but I missed out on doing it eventually. Anyone writing there? You Elisabeth?)

Let me know when it's in the shops!

All You'll Ever Get From Me

I, of course, have no clue about this magazine but looks like this book would be really cool to see. Wonder if it will be available here in the states.

As the info about the book from my link says it's a book *about* the magazine, with some old and some "new", new as in never published before, pictures of course - so it's not all the magazines on the cover in the book. Just to make it clear so that there are no misunderstandings.

I'm sure you can order it from the link in my first post even from outside Sweden that is directly from the publishing company. (But as Henka kindly has pointed out for me it's slightly cheaper from www.ginza.se though!)

The release date is November 24^th, but you can pre-order it already now. It includes two posters or as it says on the cover: "The wallpaper of your dream = Agneta and "The wallpaper of your nightmare = Kiss"!

I didn't contribute either Jimmy… I wish had though.

It may sound like I'm involved in marketing the book, but I'm not - I'm just so exited about! If anyone wants to order it from outside Sweden and have problems I'm sure I can help out though, or if nothing else I can get you in touch with one of the authors whom I sure will be able to help you.

I got the book yesterday. Nine pages with mostly pictures from Sweden 1975 but also stuff from 74, 76 and the nude picture of Mick in two different versions. Also a lot of Thin Lizzy, KISS, ABBA and Runaways. Well worth a buy even though it's written in Swedish. It brings back a lot of great memories. Me, getting old......?/ Jonas

Here we go Mr Look Out, my fav Swedish-English translation free web site. Just click on "Site in English please" next to the little British flag, and then you can read the book as well as looking at the pictures!

(I'm not being serious now of course, but it is a brilliant web site when you're not a native speaker of the beautiful English language!)

My book arrived yesterday, and I can only agree with Jonas/Janos - brings back lot of memories and it's *beautiful*!

PS And even a few pages about the magazine closest to *my* heart "Tiffany"! (It was/is the same man/brain behind both these magazines.)
