Subject: Gasolin'
Written By: OliverDK on 09/03/05 at 4:33 am

Gasolin' mostly sang in danish but did issue two albums for the U.S. marked; "What a Lemon" in 1976 and "Killin' Time" in 1978, "What A Lemon" was really a translated version of their 5th album - called GAS 5 - while "Killin' Time" was written in english to start with, and is - in my opinion - far the superior of the two albums.
