As promised, here is the first 7" to kick off a small series of seven inch rips by the Cowboys from Sweden. This one needs no real introduction, everyone should already know how amazing this little record is! Slogan is probably one of my favorite tracks by anyone ever with it's dark and sexy groove layered with orchestral stabs, groovy bass lines and harpsichord melodies so good that they are maddening! Talk about a duet, this one is unmatched! Beautiful, breathy, highly melodic and almost aggressive with passion. More please. Anyhow, I'm sure you all know it. So the real gem here is the B-Side. A little instrumental track called "Evelyn" which I believe was Jane Birkin's character's name in the film this was made for (the 1969 french art film Slogan). Great film as well, I highly recommend it! Anyway, Evelyn is a breathtaking piano driven number with a hypnotic groove and breezy instrumentation. Over all, it has a bit of a melancholy vibe to the melody, which is probably the reason I am such a sucker for it! This record is pretty hard to find and it occasionally fetches astronomical prices online. As far as I know, this 7" is the only official release of Evelyn (aside from the Serge Gainsbourg CD box set of film music put out some years ago). A true rarity, hope you enjoy it as much as I, and please spread it around...
