The "Kaipa" (Kaipa) was established in autumn 1973 by three musicians from the city of Uppsala (Uppsala) - keyboardist Hans Lundin (Hans Lundin), bassist Tomas Eriksson (Tomas Eriksson) and drummer Thomas Sjöberg (Thomas Sjöberg) called Ura Kaipa. Then they played a mix of Swedish folk, classical, pop and '60s prog ELP, and Yes ... But as the keyboardist in the group easily scores of all (especially in the absence of a guitarist, and this is the case), then did a "beacon" headed for the ELP. Eriksson played the bass Rickenbacker - in Sweden, it was then a rarity ... They sang in their native. In 1974 he became known simply Kaipa. Simple, but not only ... The group arrived (descended), Roine Shtolt (Roine Stolt) (ex-Spectrum, ex-Orexis), also from Uppsala - guitarist / vocalist. Simply said - the main figure of the Swedish rock of all time ... Three-headed Dragon with the heads of David Gilmour, Steve Howe and Frank Zappa, who sings as John Roy Anderson ... Then he was 17 years old. And on this album, released on the Electra, it is far from the main ... Head here - Lundin, who basically did not learn English, but he loved Deep Purple and Uriah Heep.
