"Sumar á Sýrlandi" (1975)(Summer in Syria)
by Stuðmenn
The First Album of Stuðmenn (meaning: High-Flyers, Merry men) was released on 17. June 1975 on Egg Label.
The band was formed by Jakob Frímann Magnússon & friends @ school (gymnasium Menntaskólinn við Hamrahlíð or Hamrahlíð College). Later on joined by singer/songwriter/actor Egill Ólafsson.
LP was recorded @ Majestic Studios, London, because there was no recording studio in Iceland.
17.000 copies were sold, so it broke the sales records @ that time.
Album is a mixture of styles.
Songs on the Album:
Side 1
1. Út á stoppistöð
2. Strax í dag
3. Tætum og tryllum (Fun and good times)
4. She broke my heart
5. Giv mig et billede
6. Í bláum skugga
Side 2
1. Fljúgðu (Fly)
2. Söngur dýranna í Týrol
3. Á Spáni
4. Gefðu okkur grið
5. Andafundurinn mikli
6. Sumar á Sýrlandi
7. Dagur að rísa
