I love the sleeve for this one. Gregor Samsa probably formed in the mid-eighties in the stockholm area and only released two self-financed singles and at least one demotape (if anyone have the tape please contact me!). they took the name, of course, from the character in one of kafkas most famous works and played excellent post-punk/goth. in this, their first single, they probably listened to brända barn a lot and so their influence is very strong. the b-side is great and probably has the best title ive ever heard. im not so sure about the date as its not written on the cover and the labels are white, so if anyone can pinpoint the date for this release it would be great, im guessing 86. this is great stuff!HERE

Kul blogg, som jag stötte på av en slump! En del riktiga höjdare bland materialet du har lagt ut. Lite kompletterande info om Gregor Samsa. Gick i grundskolan med trummisen, i Motala. Han flyttade i början av 80-talet till Lindesberg, varifrån hela bandet ursprungligen kom. Om jag minns rätt spelade de in demokassetten där 1984 (möjligtvis -85). Har den någonstans i gömmorna (har dock inga digitaliseringsmöjligheter). Men när de gjorde skivorna hade de alla flyttat till Sthlm. På mitt ex av singeln står att den är inspelad sept -86, och kom nog ut sent det året.
this also seems not to work, is a reup possible
Jag fick tag på den här skivan på tradera, och den kom hem idag. Riktigt bra musik! Hoppas man kan hitta mer av dem.
Den där demokassetten är man ju väldigt sugen på att höra. Finns den att ladda ner? Jag minns att jag även köpte en engelskspråkig singel som kom nåt år efter med låtarna Captain mission och I stand proud. Riktigt bra dom också.
Hey man
New blog and I happened to post this. I presume it's ok since this link is dead anyway. Thanks for your time.
