Mecki Mark Men ‎- Running In The Summer Night. 1969 Sweden



Jimi Hendrix had a profound influence on musicians in Sweden, perhaps more than any European country other than his base in England. And it shows up most prominently here with Mecki Mark Men's second album. If you enjoy compact, well-written, heavy psychedelic music, then Mecki Mark men is considered by many to be one of the best. Hard to argue that position. Not sure what took me so long to pick this one up.


Ownership: CD: 2004 Universal/Mellotronen. Recent online acquisition. Excellent tri-fold digi-pak with lengthy liner notes. 15 minutes of superb bonus tracks, that are oddly called "For the US Release". Was there another?
