"It Was 50 Years Ago Today are live recordings taken from Sveriges Radio and NRK's archives. This to mark that in 2022 it is 50 years since Popol Ace launched their first album Popol Vuh, - a release that was honored with Norway's first Grammy award! From ups and downs where Polydor International declines on an offer of a collaboration between Frank Zappa and Popol Ace, but says yes to Queens studio technician Mike Stone. From dirty and smelly rehearsal rooms in London to dream conditions in Ibiza and to a farm in Velindre in Wales where Genesis had recorded the Lamb. Then to the recording of the album Stolen from Time in an acclaimed studio outside Paris where Elton John had recorded many of his hits. Via tours, concerts, TV and radio appearances in Scandinavia and out in Europe and back again. It was 50 years ago today celebrates the band's life and legacy with this release as a reminder of what an astonishing band Popol Ace was! "
