FLOYD’S HOTEL
=(was) Martin Persson, Martin Sääf , Jaan Paltman ,
Lars Granath, Bert Karlsson (now Wikström) at final call
Or , just to make it easy for you : Khrappar i Södertälje
For all our non Swedish speaking friends we promise that some words will be told, not only in English , but also in Terve Sokratiska.
The name Floyd's Hotel is originally a great R&B song that J Geils Band has recorded. We took this Rock 'n roll title as the name for our band.
Here is our singel, originally made in vinyl on Sonet .
And for you , here it is in MP3 format.

Let us introduce you to the world of BRUTAL CLIPS – the songs without fade out and without fade in.
With a genious brutality , the recordings here are cut without timing or feeling at all. And some of them ar also
cut in the middle - a brutal brilliance that makes YOU want to send 10 dollars to the church of seeker an bleeding
hearts of Jesus located somewhere ... no that was a Jagger and Richard song, but send 10 dollars to us and have a CD with
the recordings unclipped in MP3 or a customized CD in normal Audio Format.
Just send a mail to us and we tell you what to do:
Med fullständig brist på intelligens och avsaknad av verklighets förankring har följande låtar brutalt klippts i båda ändar
- och en del också i mitten.
Helt okänsligt och otajmat. Detta kan trots allt locka er att skicka 99 kr och få låtarna på CD i MP3 format eller
valda låtar (det som får rum) på en vanlig audio-CD. Skicka bara ett mail till adressen: floyd@floydshotel.com så ska vi berätta hur göra.
So here are the Basement tapes, some Nykvarn tapes - the so called Porta Studio tapes and some real studio tapes - when "grabbarna var i finrummet" as we say in Sweden and at the danska slätten.
