En liten bit i taget is the fifth studio album by the Swedish singer and songwriter Ingemar Olsson, released on the Swedish gospel label Signatur in May 1978. The album was engineered by Gordon Shryock at United Western Studios in Hollywood, California, US; (March 1978), and by Anders Oredsson at Polyvox Studios, Studio Bastun and KMH Studios in Stockholm, Sweden (June-July 1978); with Backa Hans Eriksson, Bill Maxwell, and Ingemar Olsson producing.
Since the album actually was recorded bit by bit (“en liten bit i taget” in Swedish) – in various countries and at various studios, from March until August 1978 – Olsson simply titled this album En liten bit i taget (“Bit By Bit”).
