Swedish Dance Bands From the 70's

Sure, there has been some great pop music coming out of Sweden. Some notable Swedish musical acts include:

ABBA
Ace Of Base
Army Of Lovers
Blue Swede
The Cardigans
Alcazar
Yngwie Malmsteen
Dr. Alban
Robyn
Roxette
Europe
Neneh Cherry
...and many more

But no one can match the visual aspect of these lesser known dance musical acts from Sweden in the 1970's.

Get a load of the matching outfits, crazy hair (mullets and bangs), bell bottoms, oversized glasses, bushy sideburns, hairy chests, polyester, wide collars, etc. So camp. Not to mention, the name of the group in the first picture !!

Records Make a Sound Investment

Here's a story about a former customer of mine.

Vinyl finally dead? That'll be the day... MP3 players may be all the rage but records make a sound investment

Who said that records were finished? If you have a pile of old LPs gathering dust in the loft, you could be in the money. The most collectible records fetch thousands of pounds.

Jean-Paul Cuesta-Vayon, 42, who runs the Vinyl Junkies shop in Soho, central London, says: 'You can't beat records - they are not just more tactile with far better art work than CDs, they also boast far superior sound quality. When CDs and then MP3 music formats came along they offered more convenience and seemed an exciting alternative. But as time has gone by many music lovers have come back to the more lasting appeal of vinyl.'

Jean-Paul says this attraction goes right across the music market -- from jazz to rock 'n' roll, hip hop and rhythm and blues. But though the appeal attracts all age groups, the nostalgia of those brought up on vinyl is also a key driving force. The blue-chip investments are the bands with international appeal that have stood the test of time.

Turning a profit: Vinyl Junkies shop owner Jean-Paul Cuesta-Vayon

At the head of the list is The Beatles. Other highly collectible groups include The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen and The Smiths.

Among the individual performers, Elvis Presley, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Cliff Richard, Elton John and Marc Bolan are the most sought after.

Industry magazine The Record Collector puts the first ten numbered copies of The Beatles' White Album - released 40 years ago this weekend - as top of the pops for rarity value. It puts a conservative estimate of between £5,000 and £7,000 for one of the first ten copies, though investors might pay twice that amount.

Other rarities include a swearing Marc Bolan on a recording of Hard On Love plus a silk-padded sleeve of The Rolling Stones album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, both valued at £2,000. Collectors will pay about £3,000 for the mono version of Unfinished Music No 1: Two Virgins, an experimental 1968 album by John Lennon & Yoko Ono with the couple nude on the cover, rarity rather than musical appeal pushing up the price. Perhaps the most expensive record is the 7 inch single of That'll Be The Day, recorded by The Quarrymen in 1958 before three of them went on to form The Beatles. Sir Paul McCartney owns the only known copy, which is valued conservatively at £100,000.

Stephen Maycock, the rock 'n' roll memorabilia consultant for auction house Bonhams, says: 'It wasn't until the Eighties that vinyl really started to be viewed as collectible, when the supply dried up as the musical format was switched to CDs.'

First pressings are usually the most valuable, as they were often produced in relatively small numbers before the record became a hit. Early demos and limited exports are also sought after among die-hard collectors.

Cant's be beat: Jean-Paul among his wares

The record company and issue code on the disc and sleeve can help reveal the identity. Other considerations include whether it was a commercial release or promotional, recorded in stereo or mono, contained any freebies or has a picture sleeve.

As with all collectible items, Maycock says condition is vital. An LP in mint condition is worth twice a 'very good' example that has a few minor scuffs and surface scratches. Anything less is not usually considered as collectible - a badly scratched copy could fetch less than a tenth of the value.

Although Jean-Paul admits that recordings by the big names in music have accounted for some of the most impressive price rises in recent years, there is also a growing market for more obscure artists where cut-price gems can still be discovered.

'I have an early Seventies jazz record, The Latin Taste by Romano Mussolini, the youngest son of the wartime Italian dictator,' he says. 'It could be picked up for a few pounds a few years ago, but is now worth £600. Another rarity is Charlie Parker's In Sweden 1950 album, which is worth £1,000 because it's extremely rare.'

Bonhams has put a £600 estimate on a disc recorded in the late Sixties by Reg Dwight before he changed his name to Elton John. An early U2: Three 12in single from 1981 and signed by Bono has a valuation of £3,000.

While internet trading has transformed the market, for many vinyl investors there is no substitute for the fun of rummaging through racks at specialist record shops or trade fairs.

Befriending the dealer at a secondhand record store can also prove invaluable. But traders will typically offer half the price you could get on eBay.

An excellent source of information with details of shops and fairs is the Record Collector. The magazine publishes the industry bible, Rare Record Price Guide 2010. For American releases, investors should check out the books, Goldmine Record Album Price Guide and Goldmine Price Guide To 45RPM Records.

Vinyl Records Making a Comeback in The Ozarks

It's the awakening of an era for music lovers. Vinyl records are coming back and gaining popularity in the Ozarks.

"I never thought we'd come back to vinyl ever." says Michael Vincent, owner of CD Warehouse. "I brought in 50 pieces to test it and it immediately went crazy."

Vinyl records are hitting store shelves in the Ozarks.

"What I see are people picking Frampton Comes Alive, Kiss, Aerosmith. They never thought the music they listened to when they were kids would be popular with kids now." says Vincent.

"The production of these is so much more imaginative" says Tom Muetzel.

Muetzel, who works for KOLR 10 and owns South Avenue Pizza Company, says the majority of music played in his eatery is from this turn table.

"Once I started bringing things in all of a sudden, it had a snowball affect from curiosity from different people, so we rotate the records we have here." says Muetzel.

And vinyl is so popular at South Avenue Pizza, with customers, that it actually has it's own night.

"It just got to be a neighborhood things where you would grab up favorite records and come down and hang out and have a beer and listen to music." says Muetzel.

While the iPod is a handy portable way to carry your music, Muetzel likes the spin vinyl records brings to the table.

"They came with posters they came books they came with picture disks a lot more imagination." says Muetzel.

"Goes to show you, a good song will last the test of time." says Vincent.

Prices for vinyls today can range from $9.99 to $25.00.

E=mc² is correct ... proven 103 years later

And no, we are NOT talking about Mariah Carey's latest album.



It's taken more than a century, but Einstein's celebrated formula e=mc2 has finally been corroborated, thanks to a heroic computational effort by French, German and Hungarian physicists.

A brainpower consortium led by Laurent Lellouch of France's Centre for Theoretical Physics, using some of the world's mightiest supercomputers, have set down the calculations for estimating the mass of protons and neutrons, the particles at the nucleus of atoms.

According to the conventional model of particle physics, protons and neutrons comprise smaller particles known as quarks, which in turn are bound by gluons.

The odd thing is this: the mass of gluons is zero and the mass of quarks is only five percent. Where, therefore, is the missing 95 percent?

The answer, according to the study published in the US journal Science on Thursday, comes from the energy from the movements and interactions of quarks and gluons.

In other words, energy and mass are equivalent, as Einstein proposed in his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905.

The e=mc2 formula shows that mass can be converted into energy, and energy can be converted into mass.

By showing how much energy would be released if a certain amount of mass were to be converted into energy, the equation has been used many times, most famously as the inspirational basis for building atomic weapons.

But resolving e=mc2 at the scale of sub-atomic particles -- in equations called quantum chromodynamics -- has been fiendishly difficult.

"Until now, this has been a hypothesis," France's National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) said proudly in a press release.

"It has now been corroborated for the first time."

For those keen to know more: the computations involve "envisioning space and time as part of a four-dimensional crystal lattice, with discrete points spaced along columns and rows."
