Alibi

Description

Alibi is the sophomore album by Swedish pop/rock band Edin-Ådahl, released in the US on Refuge Records in 1983, distributed by The Benson Company. (The original Swedish version of the album was released in Sweden on CBS Records the previous year. The English version substitutes the Swedish track “Idag” with a brand new song, “For The Rain In Your Heart”.) The album was recorded by Peter Olsson at Studio Bastun and Polyvox in Stockholm, by Lennart Ström at OAL Studio in Sollentuna, and by Mats Öberg at Music Workshop in Stockholm, Sweden; with the band producing and arranging for Royal Music Production (except track B4 produced by Anders “Henkan” Henriksson). Mixed by “Paris” at Polar Studios in Stockholm. (English vocals produced by Tom Douglas. Mixed at Bastun Studios by Peter Olsson and the band.)

Featuring Lasse Edin on vocals and keyboards, Bertil Edin on vocals and guitar, Simon Ådahl on vocals and bass, and Frank Ådahl on vocals and drums.

In his review of the album, CCM Magazine critic Brian Quincy Newcomb wrote: “When Edin Adahl released its 1983 album, Alibi, they single-handedly raised the standard for production values that we would expect from Christian artists.”
