The Black Box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Black Box" is not the first boxset with Gasolin'. In 1981 "A Box Full of Gas" was released containing "Gas 5", "Efter endnu en dag", "Gør det noget" and an ep with these songs: "Marken er høstet", "Skru op", "Som et strejf af en dråbe" and "Det er en kold tid".

"The Black Box" was released in 2003 and contains the seven studio albums they released from 1971-77, the live album, "Live sådan" (but for some reason not "Live i Skandinavien") and Additional tracks. The latter contains 19 rare songs, four of the songs previously unreleased. Several other rare tracks such as "Endelig jul igen" and "Where Do We Go Now, Mon Ami" are for some reason absent. "The Black Box was a big seller and confirmed that Gasolin' is the most popular rock band in Denmark ever.

The 19 songs on Additional tracks are: "Blood Brothers"/"Uh-Lu-La-Lu"/"Sophie, The Bass Player"/"In The Wings"/"Jailbait"/"Skru op"/"Silky Sally"/"W.J."/"Lille Susanne, drømmer du"/"Snow Queen"/"Child of Institution"/"Langebro(live version)"/"Lady Rain"/"Holy Jean"/"Dejlig er jorden"/"Campingvognen"/"Hvad gør vi nu, lille du"/"Som et strejf af en dråbe"/"Boogie Jam".

The Black Box has a booklet written by Klaus Lynggaard and the nine cds was remastered by Franz Beckerlee. The original cover art has been tastefully repacked.
