There are actually two versions of this on both CD and vinyl, but both are titled The Girls Want The Boys! Sweden’s Beat Girls.
The CD version has 24 tracks, as well as a ‘bumper’ booklet with expanded notes and extra photos. As for the music, that’s essentially the dawn of Swedish beat, with covers (including two tracks by the future vocalists of Abba) and original tracks by a plethora of names you (and I) have probably never heard of.
If it’s half as good as the other ‘Beat Girls’ albums of the recent past from Ace, such as Pye Beat Girls and Decca Beat Girls, then this will be another winner. Hopefully we’ll be reviewing and can let you know.
As for the vinyl, that’s a 12-track LP pressed on 180g white vinyl in a heavy duty sleeve and with ‘sumptuously illustrated’ artist profiles on the inner bag. Of course, you don’t get all the tracks, but you do get something very cool.
Both are released next week, with the CD at £15.57 and the vinyl at £19.85. Tracks below.
