Record Company The Gramophone Co. Ltd.
Recorded in Oslo, August 8, 1956.

Although receiving massive success and being the top selling record in Norway from its release in September 1956 and through the rest of the year, Elling's estate did not approve of this jazzified version of Småsporven... and so in December 1956 the record was withdrawn and all remaining copies, along with the original matrix, were destroyed. It at least makes it easy to date it: all copies will necessarily have to be from 1956.
