Tasavallan Presidentti’s annual performances at Ruisrock in
Turku, Finland during the festival’s early years were proof of
the band’s rapid ascent from a local band to an internationally
renowned group of top musicians. “Pressa” left a lasting mark on
many a festivalgoer, and the most optimistic ones were hoping to
get these performances on a live album, if recordings existed.
They do exist, and what remains on tape of the first ever
Ruisrock performance was released on /Changing Times and
Movements/ (Svart Records), and the show at Ruisrock 1971 is now
coming out on this album.
Arriving in Turku 1971 “Pressa” had completely shed their skin
and revamped their set list from the previous year. The group
had evolved into something entirely new musically. The festival
had a more progressive lineup this year, and “Pressa” got the
chance to prove themselves as part of a well respected
international lineup. Some of Ruisrock’s international talent in
1971 included The Jeff Beck Group, The Kinks, Fairport
Convention, Canned Heat, Juicy Lucy, Hardin & York, Pete
Brown & Piblokto!, Pink Fairies, Stefan Grossman, Niemen
Enigmatic, Culpeper's Orchard, Fläsket Brinner and Fruit.
Another proof of the rapid renewal of “Pressa”'s set list is how
they would perform songs under different names, until the final
name was chosen when releasing the song on an album. Jukka
Tolonen’s composition "The Bargain" is included twice on this
live album. The earlier version is from Ruisrock 1971 and the
latter from the Finlandia house in December the same year.
"The Bargain" was first performed as "Better Move On" with
lyrics by Frank Robson. In the autumn of 1971 the piece was
re-christened as "Falling Deeper", and this unreleased studio
version was discovered and released on "The Lost 1971 Studio
Session" (Svart Records). This was the name the song got for a
few months, and was registered with Teosto, the Finnish music
copyright association with this title. For whatever reason the
song was performed using its older name at the Finlandia house
in December 1971. Then, when Eero Raittinen sang the song when
"Lambertland" was recorded, Mats Huldén provided new lyrics and
the song got its final name "The Bargain". "Ramblin’", a
familiar tune from Tolonen’s solo career, was at first performed
as "Feel My Way Through" with vocals by Robson. This early
version is featured on this live album.
There’s been a lot of talk among fans about a certain cover tune
by Tasavallan Presidentti and its discovery and release are long
overdue. Well, here it is, "King Kong" by Frank Zappa, performed
by Tasavallan Presidentti at Ruisrock 1971! (svartrecords.com)
