  Record/Vinyl

  • 
  It Was 50 Years Ago Today er en utgivelse hentet frem fra Sveriges Radio og NRKs arkiver. Dette for å markere at høsten 2022 er det 50 år siden Popol Ace lanserte sitt første album Popol Vuh, – en utgivelse som ble hedret med Norges første Spellemannpris! Fra opp- og nedturer hvor Polydor International takker nei til tilbud om samarbeid mellom Frank Zappa og Popol Ace men ja til Queens studiotekniker Mike Stone. Fra skitne og illeluktende øvelseslokaler i London til drømmeforhold på Ibiza og bondegård i Velindre i Wales der Genesis hadde spilt inn the Lamb. Videre til innspilling av albumet Stolen from Time i et oppskrytt studio utenfor Paris der Elton John hadde spilt inn mange av sine hits. Via turneer, konserter, TV-og radioopptredener i Skandinavia og ute i Europa og tilbake igjen.
  
  It was 50 years ago today feirer bandets liv og ettermæle med denne utgivelsen som en reminder hvor store de var med henholdsvis konsertopptak fra Sveriges Radio i 1974 og fra bandets legendariske konsert på Rebecca West i Oslo i 1994- alt i en nydelig 3-LP boks!
