@ralphyboy25 The first record and AFAIK also 'Musta Lindu' are from 1st generation Värttinä - basically a group of enthusiastic school children from Rääkkylä. There seems to be preciously few songs from ML available in YT or otherwise - so I really don't know, but the material in it seems to be a bit more refined. In the first record they seem to sometimes express 'more energy than skill' ;) - nevertheless a sign of refreshing new air they already then brought to the Finnish ethno/folk scene.
@EneriGiilaan Good luck on your next attempt at acquiring this CD.
This song and watch?v=2qdBXL7aP60 is very different from their later work in Oi Dai. I can appreciate why it is highly sought after. I haven't found any YT vids with songs from Musta Lindu. Can I assume Musta Lindu is in this same style? or is it another transitional album?
@ralphyboy25 Hi - thanks. Unfortunately, I did order it from them in September, but after some delay they informed that their supplier was out of stock and the order was scrubbed.
Perhaps the supplier has restocked or they have found a new supplier - or have not updated their pages ;)
@EneriGiilaan I am posting it right now on ebay.com (us site), just search Varttina first album. I am offering worldwide shipping...

@EneriGiilaan I see amazonUK ( amazon . co . uk ) has the first album for sale for about 9 pounds.

@prosperitycraft Well if you succeed - please tell to me where it can be found. Been searching for it (and 'Musta Lindu') for some time already.
