realsuga said on :

more excited than a kid on Xmas Eve!!!!!!!!!! Love the cover too!

joyrider said on :

from a graphic designers point of view i have to say: THIS COVER IS REALLY GREAT! i guess this picture suites the sound of the album perfectly. cheers.

deimos said on :

there will also be 2 different CD-versions - a jewelcase and a deluxe digipack.

Sascha said on :

Great cover! Suits the vibe of the album very well. Is that an ABBA album in Per’s hands? The tracklist looks... interesting! ;-)

BTW. the bonus track will be “Keep the radio on” according to Per.

Pascal said on :

The info is taken from CDON.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Ha, you wish, this info is not taken from CDON. :)

Bunio said on :

on the CDON tracklist there is one song more- Jo-anna Says Farewell.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

That’s a secret ghost track á la Kix cha-cha that we didn’t want to reveal, but CDON did anyways...

purplemedusa said on :

Vaxjoe & Purplemedusa says, “SOAP makes it slippery... MMM!!!”

Mari said on :

Some of the titles sounds like episode names of South Park :D Wonderful cover!

Jackeill said on :

i like the single cover better, this is nice also though...

tcooh said on :

Good news and info. I love the cover picture, perfect for this double-album!! Ghost track as well, hehe, nice one ;)

About some of the titles, I’ve mentioned this one before “Hey Mr DJ (Won’t You Play Another Love Song)” sounds very Madonna inspired. “Ronnie Lane”, for some strange reason this one gives me associations to Harry Potter, LOL. “Speed Boat to Cuba”, hm, sounds like title of a great action movie ;) “Something Happened Today”, hm, yes it did :D “Making Love or Expecting Rain” the west coast choice :P Only thing I must think more of is the reprise track, generally I don’t like it, but I’ll wait an see if its’ at least a bit different than the first one.

Baby-C said on :

Waltz about Woody!? hm. If I recall right, Per’s nickname for Åsa is Woody. So... does he dance waltz for her at home? *smile* Propably not, but that was my first thought when I read that title. *smile*

Funny titles though! And a REALLY REALLY NICE COVER!!!

japeke said on :

How about jo-anna says farewell as mentioned as last track on cdon.com???

sommartider said on :

Wow! really cool picture!
Per looks younger every day...

AddeColciago said on :

Nice cover.

Wonder how “Kurt- the fastest plumber in the west” sounds...

Bunio said on :

@japeke - read all the comments carefully and you will know :)

Rox1_4ever said on :

Veryyyy nice!!!!

japeke said on :

Thanx Bunio... Sorry, I am an old hippy sir....

blunek said on :

The sleeve is amazing! :0))) Doesn‘t it remind Tom Petty‘s “Hard promises” cover? ;D

Rox-Van said on :

Thanks for this beautiful information!!!! Gessle is more beautiful every day!! now I want to listen this disc!!!! I’m super nervous!!! oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I melt of love for this man and his music!!! Gessle loved you!!!! (as the crazy names that you put to your new songs!!!)

Peppermint said on :

I REALLY LIKE THE SLEEVE!! CD IS ALREADY ORDERED! CAN’T WAIT!!! SOAP RULEZ!!

Jud (moderator) said on :

how come the cover is sliiiightly bigger on tdr / soap.com then? ;)

Funny how CDON doesn’t list the 2 CDs, but all the tracks in a row, but other sites *cough* just like to copy and paste, must be a great hobby.

LoneGunman said on :

Wow... what a cool cover... really really cool.
I like the titles of the songs too. Can´t wait to have it in my hands !! :)

Max-Tob said on :

can’t remember right now, but did he say anything about the instrumental ones? how many orchestral songs will be?
let’s take a guess...”Ronnie Lane”, “Kurt - the fastest...” and “Waltz for Woody” (I am SO convinced that the last two I’ve mentioned are going to be instrumental!!)

substitute said on :

GREAT!!!!!!
I WANT THE FULL CD NOW!!

randall said on :

Very nice! But I don’t see any song in swedish, HE (Gessle) said the album would contain a mix of instrumental tracks and english and swedish songs.

I can’t wait to listen to it anyway

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Swedish? He never said that.

Jud (moderator) said on :

:S he always said that the album would be in English.

Somewhen he said he had written songs in Swedish too (and French?) but nothing about mixing them?

CRIZ said on :

The songtitels are sooo funny...never ever seen so many funny songtitels on one CD! ..eehm..two CD’s!
Nice Cover...good work!! Respect!! Reminds me that I will go to a record fair this weekend..:D

Jackeill said on :

there are some words over the ’son of a plumber’. what could it be?

edit:

ok, i got it.

“elevator entertainment and capitol records present”

my god it sucks! why they had to write this... ?

btw: i like the colors of the cover presented on tdr better ! it looks like a bleach bypass to me. it’s nicer than the cover presented on a offcial website [and this offcial one is cropped, a bit].

Nox1983 said on :

;D

I like it!! (the sleeve)

Songtitles don´t say me anything this time, I ll have to wait and listen the whole album...

Fernanda-Brasil said on :

Wonderful cover!!!!!

Can’t wait to put my hands on this cd :D

Thankyouuuuuu Per!

Love you!
Fernanda.

crashroxer said on :

Great news!!!
And a fantastic cover (-:

Roxrider_USA said on :

Gosh, this must be one of the most creative tracklist I’ve ever seen. It had to be a Per album!

The cover suites the project very well. It’s all coming together very nicely. Now, I just have to wait for that “party in my head” to start with the arrivel of the CDs. :-)

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

n-Somnia said on :

Awesome. :)

Hehe, some of the titles are quite funny. “Are You an Old Hippie, Sir?” Hahaha! I love the Gessle humour.

jorgeojeda2004 said on :

hello friends!!!wonderfull news!!!but I wonder....THIS ALBUM IS REALISED WORLDWIDE?? HERE IN ARGENTINA TOO???DOES ANYBODY CAN ANSWER MY SIMPLE QUESTION???PLEASE WRITE ME TO :[email protected] THANX!!!

Denstandigaresan said on :

Ahhhh 2 cd goooooodness. :swoon:

2 cd’s gooood. ;) That’ll make my day fly by in work!

One of my fave cheesy songs ever is Ernie, the fastest milk cart in the west... now Pers: Kurt – The Fastest Plumber in the West, cheesy or not? But cool title all the same. ;) Hehe!

Ooh, i’m all excited. YAYNESS!

Leila said on :

Per looks so good looking! The best title for me is Come back tomorrow (and we do it again)

PiR_GeSSLe said on :

Don’t know if you’ve notices but you can actually LISTEN to both the new songs on the plumber’s site!!!

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to have the whole thing! :)

Edit: Wops! There was an update down in the single news... you TDR-guys are always the first to know! ;-)

AURYTE said on :

I love the cover and the tracklist!!! Can’t wait to have this album in my hands.

Son Of A Plumber rulezzz!!!

Zargo said on :

@blunek

I thought of “Hard Promises” as soon as i saw the sleeve too! :)

Ramas said on :

I ordered digi-pack from SOAP website, and there was a promise that it could arrive even before release day or very very soon after. Wow !

Max-Tob said on :

yeah, i got the same “promise” haha...I doubt it though...I ordered gyllene there and didn’t get it earlier...waaay much later...but well, france is far away...it also depends where are you from, i guess.

girl7twenty7 said on :

Both album and single covers look excellent!!!
All the titles and everything are so... yummie, don’t know how i’m gonna wait for hearing those pair of cds, it’s such a torture!

Roxvet said on :

Does anybody knows how to buy Vinyl version?

carlitos said on :

And does anybody knows if the single will be edited in plastic case too?

About SOAP, I haven´t felt nothing like that since Room Service...I´m so excited....!!!!

Per, thank you for giving us so many good things and so many good songs. You made (and will make) the soundtrack of my life. thanks sir.

jobarth said on :

It seems that we can only order the vinyl LP here so far: http://www.sonofaplumber.nu

Now it’s also possible for the EU states. You can pay with creditcard via Payson (the same system like PayPal) but in Swedish, you have to be registered there at first.

TheRain1981 said on :

Oooh, this is very exciting.

gt_pelle said on :

Very nice cover!!!!!

Mr_Sandman said on :

Love the cover and the track names (very Gessleish). Just hope that it will be released here in Australia, but once again I’m not holding my breath.

ally77 said on :

It looks really impressive!

ally77 said on :

I want to hear the Kurt track in full!

ally77 said on :

Some top titles, speed boat to cuba... where did that one come from!

blunek said on :

@Zargo:

Ha! So this is the point! :0) Thanx you didn‘t leave alone with this thought. And what about the LP in Per‘s hands? Isn‘t it one of Tom Petty‘s earlier records? Some blonde guy on the cover... ;0)
