Værsgo was the debut album of Kim Larsen who formed Gasolin' in 1969 with Wili Jönsson 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'. With 17 songs, it was apparent that Kim Larsen had a lot of songs to offer. It is also apparent why these songs did not fit into the Gasolin' frame. Unlike the hard and disciplined rock of Gasolin' the songs on "Værsgo" has a loose and cosy atmosphere with a lot of romance and sentimentality and childlike innocence. The album became a big surprise hit and it is considered to be a classic in Danish popular music. In 2005 the 17 songs was recorded by various Danish artists under the title: "Værsgo 2". This album became a big seller too, confirming the icon 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 played the Moog, Wili Jönsson played the piano and organ and Søren Berlev played the percussion.
