Lotus - Vera O'Flera. 1976 Sweden


Looks like it's been 18 years since I last heard this album. Fine all-instrumental Swedish jazz rock with local folkloric melodies. While the first album constitutes instrumental prog, this one definitely finds itself in the fusion camp. Excellent guitar and electric piano. There are some albums in the collection where there just isn't much to say, other than I enjoy them.


Ownership: LP: 1976 SMA. Single sleeve. Online acquisition in 2001. Always loved the cover for no particular reason. It's different than the norm, especially in the 70s.  

CD: 2004 Duck Your Music. Small cardboard sleeve. These are the kind of sleeves that modern era record companies include as part of the LP package. So I'm doing the same :-) Otherwise, the CD offers little else with 2 short bonus tracks.


2001; 2004; 2005; 1/17/23 (LP 4.3); 3/26/23 (new entry)

    1. I prefer the debut as well. At least +1 over the second, but I enjoy both.
