Skatebård - Skateboarding Was A Crime (In 1989)

Actually this record was released as a twelwe-inch, not an LP, the first 12" in the world with 7 tracks and a gatefold:)

Skateboarding was a crime (in Norway) UNTIL 1989, from 1980. Although I don't know the exact date the ban was lifted.

Really interesting facts: The bubble jacket is of brand: Fila.
And the Elka Solist pictured in the gatefold was bought in 1995 for 500 Norwegian Kroner. The record was printed at GZ Digital Media.

Fun Facts:
'Sgnelkab' is actually the norwegian word for 'backwards' (baklengs) written backwards.

'Skateboarding Was A Crime (In 1989)'. In Norway, it actually was. You could get a fine and have your skateboard confiscated by the police if caught on an open street.

5 star rating only for the 'Sgnelkab' track, which is a totally beautiful techno track, moody and minimal in its approach, but with enough punch to cause serious damage on the floor. A devastating drive throughout, with heavenly tones after the break completing the picture.
Really lovely and more than worth buying the whole LP for.

The track was used by Andre Galluzzi on his 'Im Garten' mix-CD on Taksi.
