DROP 82

Here's another one from Grimsby Fishmarket 4 Norrkoeping 0. Mary-Go-Round are apparently a legendary Swedish indiepop band. If you'd asked me about them a few months ago though, I wouldn't have had a clue who they were. Since then I've found out that they were from LuleĆ„ and only released one 7" that I still haven't heard, on the West Side Fabrication label, which became the biggest indie label in Sweden during the early 90's. This single, pictured above, came out in 1990 and that is probably from when the song here is too. The picture was taken from eBay, were the crazy guy 'macbeats' from Gothenburg had put up a copy for £199! The first Eggstone single was priced similarly and man, that person must be in serious need of money. Thankfully no one bought it, as you can see if you follow the link. Anyway, Mary-Go-Round must be pretty good judging from this song which is the best on the tape together with the Orchids one.
