Freddy Lindquist was one of Norway’s two guitar heroes alongside Terje Rypdal. After playing in several beat bands and later with the group Jumbo on Norway’s first heavy rock record, the time had come to release an album of his own. He recorded his only LP Menu in 1970 at the Arne Bendiksen Studio, under the direction of producer and sound engineer Nils Bjarne Kvam. He was also supported by a number of musician friends such as the singer Freddy Dahl from Junipher Greene, the keyboardist Geir Wentzel, the saxophonist Kalle Neumann and the two drummers Espen Ruud and Leif Jensen, his former bandmate from Jumbo. He played numerous instruments, including guitar, bass, flute and drums, also took on the vocals here and there, and produced his debut.

His real strength lies in his impressive guitar playing in this appealing mix of guitar-driven blues rock, hard rock and a few elements of early progressive rock. Unfortunately, the „great“ idea of featuring a naked woman on the album cover went completely wrong: instead of boosting sales by causing a scandal, the album – released in December 1970 by the small Norwegian record label Flower – ended up on the index and was no longer available anywhere. It is considered incredibly rare, not only for this reason, but also because the few existing copies are extremely sought-after collector’s items. Freddy Lindquist then disappeared from the scene entirely.
