Extra Extra

Extra Extra is the third studio album by the Swedish rock band Tages, released on 28 November 1966 by Platina Records. Their third and final album on Platina, it was issued only four months after their second studio album Tages 2. The album was largely recorded during a period in which the band had started evolving into a psychedelic rock group, something that became evident on their two final efforts, Contrast and Studio. The album was recorded during a period in which Tages underwent several lineup changes. It's their first effort not to feature drummer Freddie Skantze, who left following the recording of Tages 2, and is the second and final album with drummer and vocalist Tommy Tausis, who'd played on several tracks on Tages 2. He left following the recording of Extra Extra, and was replaced by Lasse Svensson The album yielded four singles, all of which were released the following year. None of them managed to chart on either Kvällstoppen or Tio I Topp. However, the sessions managed to produce a non-album single, "Miss Mac Baren", backed with "Get Up An' Get Goin'", which was a slightly bigger success, reaching number one on Kvällstoppen and number four on Tio I Topp. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra_E...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
