LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

• 500 pieces limited (300 black + 200 clear vinyl

In 1967 Topmost were at the top of their game in Finland. There were shows around Scandinavia, and the band’s live repertoire consisted of pop, soul and rhythm & blues, some numbers in Finnish and others in English. Alas, the album received little or no promotion and its Finnish label folded soon after. This was an exceptionally sad state of affairs, especially considering how good the album was. A lively, electric, youthful burst of energy and playfulness, made by teenagers. It is a perfect snapshot of the peak year of pop music that was 1967. Also, it has been somewhat impossible to find for the past 50 years. Band members estimate there were 300 copies pressed in 1967, and even though most of the material on the album has been included on later CD compilations, this is the first time the actual album is available after the brief period of the original release.
