Tasavallan Presidentti - Tasavallan Presidentti II (Columbia/EMI Album). CD. (EMI - 7243 53877828) The second album from 1970, long out of print and regarded by Jukka Tolonen as the bands best work. Classic progressive rock with great instrumental interplay, tight arrangements, strong melodies and extended solo performances on flute, sax and electric guitar. Flashes of psychedelic rock merge into jazzy instrumental excursions. One of the best Scandinavian albums.

Tasavallan Presidentti - Lambertland. CD. (Love Records - LRCD 60) Possibly the best known of this Finnish bands' releases, this 1972 effort features lazy, jazzy progressive rock spiced with Jukka Tolonen's firey guitar and Pekka Poyry's saxes and flutes. With lyrics in English, this is considered by many to be one of the best and most accessable Scandinavian releases.

Tasavallan Presidentti - Milky Way Moses. CD. (Love Records - LRCD 102) This is the final album from 1973 by the Finnish band formed in the late '60's from the ashes of Blues Section and featuring the legendary guitarist Jukka Tolonen. A great album of effortless spacey, progressive jazz rock with very sharp guitar work. The album also benefits from superior production values and fans of Wigwam or Burnin' Red Ivanhoe should definitely investigate this…

Tasavallan Presidentti - Tasavallan Presidentti ( First Album On Love - Remastered). CD.

In keeping with the times there are odd flashes of psychedelia too. Now with three added bonus tracks and the entire record has also been digitally remastered.
