Tombstone Valentine
Tombstone Valentine is a studio album released by Wigwam in 1970. While the previous album "Hard 'n' Horny" was more of a jazz influenced album, "Tombstone Valentine" in one of their more pop-ish albums. The album sounds more like the records of the "Deep Pop" era ("Nuclear Nightclub", "Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose") than the records of the progressive rock era ("Hard 'n' Horny", "Fairyport" and "Being"). This is the first album with Pekka Pohjola in the band, replacing bassist Mats Huldén. Guitarist Nikke Nikamo also left after "Hard 'n' Horny", but a permanent replacement for him  couldn't be found, so Jukka Tolonen of Tasavallan Presidentti plays guitar on some of the tracks. "Tombstone Valentine" represents the sound they forsook for the next two progressive albums, "Fairyport" and "Being". Unlike the other Wigwam albums, this was produced by "non-Finnish" producer, the American Kim Fowley. The track "The Dance of the Anthropoids" is not a Wigwam track, but an experimental electronic piece by Erkki Kurenniemi, recorded in 1968 originally. Kim Fowley thought it was so brilliant that it had to be on the album.
