Legenden om Joe Hill - Goran Hagwall

It's not exactly clear to me for whom Marty Wilde wrote 'The Spirit of Joe Hill', but it seems that Laurie Dryden was the only one who recorded the song. Interestingly, the song took on a life of its own in Scandinavia, because several Swedish versions of the song exist.

One of those versions is the one by Göran Hagwall (Gothenburg, 29 October 1946 — 10 October 1991). I received this copy in the original Philips record company sleeve, which I have to say is very well preserved after almost half a century!
