Description
1966's BINGO!! for The Lee Kings is one of the crown jewels of Sweden's musical heritage. The Stockholm band's sole album fused hard-edged beat music, the soulful and a melodic sensibility paralleling The Hollies - their 1967 single Coming From The Ground was produced by Hollies' Allan Clarke and Graham Nash.
RPM International's double-CD, expanded edition of BINGO!! for The Lee Kings (WRETROD974) includes all their singles (in mono, from the master tapes), rarities and tracks never-before-heard on CD. Everything The Lee Kings recorded is collected.
Their complete catalogue is supplemented by a booklet with exclusive images from their film Grejen.
This is the ultimate Lee Kings and adds to RPM International's essential library of the greatest Swedish music from the era:
