Hush - Tommy Körberg et al.

EP's like this were quite popular in the Sixties and Seventies, because it was a way to own several hits for a reduced price. The only downside was that they were not the original versions of the hits, but rather recorded by other artists. 

This Swedish EP is a bit weird, because it features Tommy Körberg quite prominently on the front sleeve. Tommy, of course, went on to become quite a wellknown Swedish performer, representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969 and 1988. On this disc he performs a version of the Deep Purple song 'Hush'. Another attraction is Sue Miller's version of the Marty Wilde song 'I'm a tiger', made famous by Lulu. And that, of course, is the reason I bought this disc. There's an interesting version of 'Son of a preacher man' by Martha Dove. And finally there's an interesting song called 'Lord of the ring', which indeed is a musical retelling of the Tolkien story. 

My collection: 7" single no. 6877
Found: Discogs.com, received 25 February 2023
Tracks: 'Hush' (Tommy Körberg), 'I'm a tiger' (Sue Miller) / 'Son of a preacher man' (Martha Dove), 'Lord of the ring' (Downliners Sect)
