This is a single-sided promotional flexi-disc record paid by a Danish chocolate and candy producer Toms.

Jerry Williams (Erik Sven Fernström) and the Violents never released this song as a single, but it appears on their 1964 album “More Dynamite”.

When Little Richard performed at the Star-Club in Hamburg in 1962, this group and the Beatles were the opening acts of the night. When the Beatles toured in Sweden in 1963, this group was their opening act.

The Violents was first an instrumental group (1959-1962) in the style of the Shadows. They had a local hit with “Alpens ros” which went to #5 in the Swedish charts in 1961.
