Savage Rose is a renowned Danish psychedelic rock band founded in 1967, celebrated for their unique blend of rock, folk, and classical influences. The group is particularly distinguished by the powerful, soulful vocals of Annisette Koppel and an adventurous approach to composition, which often features evocative melodies and socially conscious lyrics. Over the decades, Savage Rose has maintained a dedicated following in Scandinavia and across Europe, recognized for their passionate live performances and progressive musical vision. "In The Plain," released in 1968, marks the band’s ambitious sophomore album and solidifies their reputation within the European rock scene. The record showcases Savage Rose’s signature sound, weaving together haunting organ lines, expressive vocals, and dynamic rhythms. Tracks like "Long Before I Was Born" and "Evening’s Child" highlight both poetic lyricism and inventive arrangements, making "In The Plain" a touchstone of late 1960s psychedelic rock. The album is often praised for its artistic depth and stands as a testament to Savage Rose’s enduring influence in psychedelic and progressive rock music. more

	Refugee Sealed - Vinyl - GG 104 Sealed 1971 US Original With Insert. Exact pressing info unknown. “Vocalist Anisette Has A Voice That Is Right From That Bonnie Bramlett/Genya Ravan/Ruby Starr Blues Rasp Mold, And That Jimmy Miller Was Making Records With Ravan And Bramlett At This Time Might Be A Reason Why Refugee Is An Artistic Triumph, The Virtually Unknown-In-America Singer Having The Opportunity To Make A Record With A Man Who Truly Understood How To Put The Blues Onto Vinyl. "Walking In The Line" Has A Hook Dressed Up With A Mixture Of Gospel And Rock; The Double-Keyboard Sound Of Savage Rose Makes For A Sound Not Unlike Genya Ravan Fronting Traffic. Netherlands Product The Shocking Blue Had Great Diction On Their Hit, "Venus," As Did The Swedish Abba On "Waterloo." Anisette Shows Great Mastery Of The English Language Here, Tearing The Words Apart With Her Heart On "Ballad Of Gale," The Ending Straight Out Of "Let It Bleed," With Miller Or Zagarino Or Both Using Their Rolling Stones Ideas To Good Effect. They Especially Work On The Stronger Material: The Song About A Small Cafe Called "Granny's Grave," The Title Track With Its Unique "Oh Welcomed Be/The Refugee," And The Aforementioned "Walking In The Line." For A Band With So Many Albums, Refugee Gives Anders Koppel, Thomas Koppel, And Crew A Nice Place In The History Books, A Solid Outing With Driving Sound, Smart Lyrics (Check Out The Opening Track, "Revival Day"), And The Hands Of One Of The Greats Putting Everything Into Place -- Doing So At The Peak Of His Powers. A Nice Gem In The Jimmy Miller Collection And Evidence That Savage Rose Was A Band Of Substance.” AMG - Joe Viglione. more
	Your Daily Gift Used - Vinyl - GG-103 1970 US original; Deadwax indicates a Rockaway pressing, housed in a Uni-pak style gatefold. Solid VG+ jacket with small corner crease and gentle ring wear. (Includes an erroneous Elektra company inner). Gregar Records distributed by RCA Records. "Your Daily Gift opens with an original pop/rocker, "Sunday Morning," which displays Anisette's little granny voice to great effect. This is not the hit song by Spanky & Our Gang, nor does Anisette sound anything like Spanky, but the two bands would have complemented each other nicely on a bill, and had Elaine McFarlane performed "The Waters Run Deep," the first song on side two, it might have been an American hit. The tune is mesmerizing, with a garagey guitar opening and a wonderful chorus ready-made for Top 40 of this time. This European group is the real rock & roll Abba and they should have been huge crafting such intelligent music with smart songwriting and on-target performances. The band's production on Your Daily Gift is very good, but the great Jimmy Miller would infuse his Traffic sounds into their style on the very next disc, the difference making for a more bluesy, Delaney & Bonnie-type sound, perhaps because Miller was traveling in those circles at the time and thought the style would work for Savage Rose. This 1970 release has heavy organ on "Tapiola," which could have fit right on the Tetragrammaton label's Deep Purple albums or the work by Vanilla Fudge. "Listen to This Tune From Mexico" is adventurous with Ten Wheel Drive overtones, while "Unfold" has that harpsichord that sounded so great on "Walk Away Renee" by Left Banke, the difference being Anisette's personality, which comes through to give this band their identity and presence. Speak Softly sounds like the Ronettes doing a ballad with gospel backing and can be summed up in only one word: immaculate. "Lightly Come, Lightly Go" is subtitled "Song for an Unborn Child -- Sarah's song," and nine years later didn't radio personalities say Stevie Nicks' "Sara" was for an unborn child? (Others had assumed it was for Mick Fleetwood's wife at the time.) The title track, Your Daily Gift, could have worked for Fleetwood Mac, and perhaps what Savage Rose needed was a manager who would place their great material with other artists to help generate a buzz. Anders Koppel's simple accordion blends beautifully with Anisette's voice on this mellow folk ballad, concluding a strong, heartfelt album." All Music Guide – Joe Viglione more
	Your Daily Gift New - Vinyl - GG 103 Sealed 1970 US Original Housed In A Uni-Pak Style Gatefold. “One Of The Most Well-Known Rock Groups From Continental Europe, Denmark's Savage Rose Recorded A Wealth Of Intriguing And Eclectic Progressive Rock In The Late '60s And '70s. In Their Early Work, One Hears Faint Echoes Of The Airplane, Doors, Pink Floyd, And Other Psychedelic Heavyweights Combined With Classical Jazz And Danish-Euro Folk Elements. Their Arrangements Rely Heavily On An Incandescent, Watery Organ That Sounds Like Nothing So Much As Psychedelic Aquarium Music. The Most Striking Aspect Of The Band's Sound, However, Was The Vocals Of Lead Singer Annisette. Her Childish Wispy And Sensual Phrasing Can Suddenly Break Into Jarring, Almost Histrionic Wailing, Like A Janis Joplin With Yoko Ono-Isms, And Eerily Foreshadows Kate Bush's Style.” AMG - Richie Unterberger. more
