ELÄKELÄISET - HUMPPAMARATOONI

• eläkeläiset: humppamaratooni
      (1997, cd, finland, stupido twins twincd 38)

Originally released on the Finnish Stupido Records label on CD and-released on CD and on vinyl on the German Humppa Records label, “Humppamaratooni” was an album by Eläkeläiset, a Finnish band that transforms famous rock songs into humppa, a two-beat, tuba-driven style of music.

The German reissue of Eläkeläiset’s “Humppamaratooni” album was called “Humppa ‘Till We Die 2000”, the subtitle of the original release. The artwork differs slightly as the original title and subtitle have been swapped on the album cover.

I recently got hold of the original Finnish album. Data has been added to the United Mutations Archives.
