As requested, here’s in exclusive the now rare SWEDISH EROTICA 1989’s self-titled awesome album remastered by the YesterRock team lead by Tony Ubler. This reissue feature 3 exclusive bonus tracks and has become very hard to find, being sold for over USD 100 now.
Featuring the incredible on lead vocals and with the help of Ole Evenrude co-writing, arranging, playing keyboards / backing vocals and producing, SWEDISH EROTICA released this fantastic melodic hard rock album in the late Eighties. One really has to wonder why these guys never achieved the success of Europe, Treat or any other major band in this genre.
You can almost envision the lush harmonies, sing-along-choruses, and great riffs that pepper this release. The songs on this record are all radio ready, and you can easily imagine the vast majority of these songs being hit worthy. The sound on “Swedish Erotica” is undoubtedly late 80s melodic hard with AOR touches, with a distinct Swedish blend.
Just about every song on the album coulda been a hit, but to mention some highlights just listen to “We’re Wild Young And Free”, “Love Me Or Leave Me”, “Hollywood Dreams”, “Loaded Gun” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll City”.
Oddly enough, the thing Swedish Erotica may be best known for is, that vocalist Mats Leven replaced Robert Ernlund in Treat. If that’s all you know about this band, you better grab this immediately – it will blow your socks off.
Production is huge, and this remastered version a must have.
