Secret Service - Aux Deux Magots (1987)

This was their last original album. After this Ola decided to call it a day as a frontman and singer. The album has 10 great pop songs. A little surprised that it featured an extended version of "The Way You Are ". The ballad with Abba-Agnetha and Ola, which was released a year prior to this album, and not as a Secret Service-release at the time. But it was because made by the Secret Service-gang, which now featured the studio wizards Anders Hansson and Mats Lindberg. "Say Say" was the first single, which is fine lightweight Secret Service-reggae. The second single "I'm So I'm So I'm So (I'm So in Love With You)" was a minor hit single in Sweden, but not as succesful as their "Flash In The Night" and "Oh Susie". The third and final single was the catchy "Don't You Know, Don't You Know". The best song is actually the instrumental "Aux deux magots" which shows Tim Norells marvelous piano work and melodies. This was the first and only album with Alexander Bard to contribute with lyrics. They continued as the succesful lyric trio Norell-Oson-Bard. Not really a weak track on this their final album. They ended on a High!
