  • Ou Wee Split CD

    FRO1009-AFROCD031

    Artist: 22 Pistepirkko/The Others

    Label: Bad Afro Records

    Bad Afro’s affection for the Finnish rock scene is well known. In the past we have released The Flaming Sideburns, Sweatmaster, Slideshaker, The Ultra Bimboos and many more and now 22 Pistepirkko joins the list. The EP includes a re-mastered version of their first 7” in English called “Ou Wee”. This single was originally released in 1986 on Pygmi Records and is today a collectors items. It was the first time they used English vocals and they kept that tradition for the Kings of Hong Kong album from 1987 and have been doing so ever since.

    The EP also includes the very first recordings by The Others a.k.a. 22PP. The Others are 22 Pistepirkko’s garage rock alter ego who play covers of personal favourites like The Troggs, Velvet Underground and Hank Williams. The style is primitive and wild. Old instruments, vintage R&R sound. Here they cover three Link Wray tunes: “Scatter”, “Law of the Jungle” and “Zipcode”. Originally released on CD and 12" vinyl.
