Original cover is significantly sharper and brighter than copies (that doesn't mean the copies very bad - they are Ok).

Total length: 29:35
Tracks A4 and B4 are instrumentals.

Björk's first album, disco folk from a hippie child. The songs are a mixture of covers, like The Beatles hit "The Fool On The Hill" ('Álfur Út Úr Hól') and Melanie Safka's 'Christopher Robin' ('Bænin') and songs written specifically for the album, like the song "Arabadrengurinn" ('The Arab Boy') written by stepdad Sævar, and instrumental flute-tribute to Icelandic painter Jóhannes Kjarval written & performed by 11-year old Björk herself. With the money she earned from sales she bought herself a piano.
