Here's a really nice double sider from Lasse Mårtenson. A-side song is a cover of Lou Reed's Walk on the wild side that follow the original quite strictly. Even the lyrics are of the same topic. B-side song instead is a cover of Syreeta's To know you is to love you that was written by Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright. Besides this 45, Miltä meno maistuu has also been released on Huipulla 5 compilation (Scandia 1973). Yksityisjuttu is only on this 45, which is semi hard to find.

Cumulus was a Finnish folk group formed in 1969 by Anki Lindqvist, Cay Karlsson, Hector and Sakari Lehtinen. Mostly their music was typical folk, but occasionally they had a really good groove going on. Like in this one, a Eurovision Song Contest national nominee from 1973, they really hit it. Too bad they didn't win the Finnish trials and didn't get to the contest. Noustaan perhosilla lentämään is a really groovy uptempo percussion driven folk-funk song that you can listen again and again. Both tracks in this 45 are composed by Valto Laitinen and arranged by Jörgen Petersen. Again, this song is only released on this 45 and on a compilation, Kootut Teokset 7 (Blue Master 1973). The 45 is pretty scarce nowadays but the compilation LP is much easier to find.
