Værsgo
''Værsgo'' is the debut album of Kim Larsen who formed Gasolin' in 1969 with Wili Jønsson and Franz Beckerlee. It was released in 1973 while he was still a member of Gasolin', and the album contains songs which were not found suitable for Gasolin'.

This album became a big seller too, confirming the iconic status of ''Værsgo''. ''Værsgo'' was recorded in Wifoss studio in Copenhagen and produced by Poul Bruun. All the members of Gasolin' played on the album: Franz Beckerlee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
