Maybe the two Alice Babs sides from session 51-09 barely merit inclusion in a jazz discography. Well, Rolf and Arne take eight bars each on Kärlek, säg vad är de´, a translation of The Trouble with Love is Love by her husband Nils Ingvar Sjöblom, so why not? I included them for completeness, and because the live version of Be-bop-Knopp, (A little be-bop bud), had a solo by LG in 51-13. Gerard Hoogeveen reports finding the two tracks on a Swedish LP: Alice Babs – Paper Doll, Cupol CLPM 6012, pressed in Haarlem, The Netherlands, by CBS who owned the label.
(On other tracks, Alice is backed by the "Paris Orchestra", Sten Carlberg's trio with Thore Swanerud and Gunnar Johnson, the Estrad Elitorkester 1947, Putte Wickman, Kenneth Fagerlund and the Hep Cats, a dixie band.)
Both tracks reappeared on a 1973 LP, Cupol CLP 96, in a reissue series called Gamla favoriter (old favorites).
