Thought I should write a little about the records I miss in my collection. My record collecting is mainly very haphazard and I usually pic up whatever I fanzy and like at the moment. I am not really restricted to any genres or time periods, alltough I seem to favor the 80's, punk and electronic music.

There are a few labels that have caught a special interest from me and I try to get their whole catalogues. One of those labels are Mamma, an independent record label from Gävle that existed between 1979 and 1986. This is from my home turf growing up and I have seen some of the bands perform live in my youth.

Di Leva's first release with his band The Pillisnorks was released on this label and they also housed swedish punk pioneers P.F. Commando for there second release Jag en duva. I also would like to mention the band Quiet's two single releases Monopoliserade sanningar and Rastafuskrock. The band The Vertex also have a very special place in my heart since they came from Ockelbo where I grew up.

All in all the label had nineteen releases and I am only three records away from having a copy of them all.

The total catalogue:

Still missing from my collection is the album Svarta Rosor from Grenzfall, Svart Guld from Bangkok and the single Midnight dream from the band II Shy. You are very welcome to contact me if you have any of these releases and want to sell them. Especially the single from II Shy, since I havent seen that one for sale anywhere.

For more information about the label you can visit the site Musikon.se. They are working on a catalogue of swedish music released  between 1965 and 1995.
