Here is a copy of one of Norwegians finest Prog Rock exports `New Born Day` by Ruphus. Released by Polydor (2382 037) in 1973 the original first issue came in a gatefold `Textured` sleeve with a large fold-out poster of the band, original copies are getting hard to find especially with the poster. A copy sold on for £427 in 2024 (with poster), top copies without aforementioned poster still sell for around £150!!
Formed in Oslo, Norway in 1970 - Disbanded in 1981 RUPHUS is probably one of the most important 70's Norwegian hard rock band with progressive tendencies. Their debut "New Born Day" is certainly one of the best Norwegian albums. But three members left after the album release and a new singer was found for their second album "Ranshart", a more progressive record. Future jazz-rock legend Terje Rypdal produced their third album "Let Your Light Shine", a jazz-rock album that had much success in Germany, but again, personnel change struck at the worst of times, but their fourth album "Inner Voice" continued the formula, but further changes undermined the group, eventually folding at the end of the decade to general indifference.
