Stockholm (The Triffids album)

Stockholm is a live recording by The Triffids, released in July, 1990 and is the final official recording by the band. All the songs were recorded live in Stockholm for The Bommen Show on Swedish National Radio in 1989. The album was engineered by Michael Bergek, produced by Lars Aldman, and mixed at Planet Sound Studios, Perth September 15, 16 and 17, 1989 by James Hewgill and David McComb.

The album was released after the Triffids officially disbanded in August, 1989 in order to fulfill the band's contractual obligations with Island Records. Island were not happy with the band using any material previously released under the label (i.e. Calenture or The Black Swan) as a result the recordings highlight the Triffids pre-Calenture era.
