History of origin
Wencke Myhre was regularly represented in the Norwegian charts since 1963. In addition, she had already recorded two long-playing records in her home country in 1964 and 1965. Since 1964, the Polydor label has published singles by the young artist in German. She had her breakthrough on the German-speaking music market with the title Sprich nicht drüber , which came in second at the German Schlager Festival in 1965 . In the same competition the following year , Myhre was not the winner of every apple with the Schlager Beiß . Along with Roy Black , the Scandinavian became the most successful German-language interpreter of the Polydor record company, which had to contend with the shrinking market share of domestic music productions due to the beat wave in the mid-1960s .
At the same time, the importance of the long-playing record, which was previously perceived as a medium for instrumental music , grew . From the 1960s onwards, more and more performers from the field of pop music created, in addition to singles, which was the record with the highest circulation at the time , sometimes elaborate concept albums . For the German-language debut album of his up-and-coming star Wencke Myhre, music producer Bobby Schmidt decided to work with the orchestra director, composer and arranger James Last, who has just become an internationally successful band leader with his happy sound .
The 13 new tracks were recorded in 1966 in the Deutsche Grammophon studio in Hamburg-Rahlstedt . The sound engineer was Peter Klemt . The B-side of the single Wer hat Geseh'n? / At the special request of Myhres, Einsamer Boy came on the album as an additional title. Musically, the compositions and arrangements of the hits were based on popular music and easy listening of the time. The titles contained were almost without exception the product of hit composers who were successful at the time, such as Hans Blum, who wrote the hit Beiß not immediately in every apple . Under the pseudonym Peter Zeeden, who wrote the success He stands in goal in 1969 , producer Bobby Schmidt contributed two titles. With once one ... (Original by Jackie Trent : Love is Me, Love is You , music: Tony Hatch ) there was also a Germanized cover version of an originally British pop song on the album. James Last composed three pieces, including Keine Post von Dir , which was released as a single in 1967. Wencke Myhre noted in the liner notes of the first release: “We had a lot of fun with the last recorded track“ Ich schau 'Dich an ”.“ The last track, Ola, Ola min unge , is a Norwegian folk tune . She tells of a lonely girl who was abandoned by her boy ( "Ola" ).
Based on the model of the successful long-playing record Roy Black (producer: Hans Bertram ), the cover of which also showed a full-body portrait and the artist's signature, the music album went on sale in 1966. In 2008, Myhre said of the collaboration with her then producer Bobby Schmidt and the lyricist Hans Bradtke : “That was a great team for me, they made several songs for me. Then I got together with James Last. He also made my first records, arranged them. It was just a fantastic team. "
