Gran Records

Mid 80s bootleg label. They first released some synth megamixes and then some "compilation releases" with some hard to find gems. As I recall this was actually a Swedish bootleg label, 'Gran' is the Swedish word for spruce/fir tree (X-mas tree), hence the tree in the logo. When looking at the tracks of the later releases they include popular classics of the Stockholm nightlife at the time (mid 80's). The Forgotten Memories release include; Rick Wakeman's "Robotman", Traks' "Long Train Running" and Wayne Wade's "Lady". The Electric Sax release include; Steve Kekana's "Raising My Family" (which was never a hit elsewhere than in Sweden), Dillinger's "Cokane In My Brain" and Trinita's "High Feeling"... All of these were HUGE in the Stockholm Clubs. The Trinita song had also been released by a Stockholm record store in 1984 - see: http://www.discogs.com/Trinita-High-Feeling/release/719201 [Discoguy Dec. 2010]
