Three teenagers from Mönsterås on the east coast of Sweden formed the hard rock band Plebb in 1976. The unusual name derives from the initials of the original band members: the „P“ for Per-Martin „Pemce“ Petersson (guitar, vocals), „LeB“ for Leif Bergqvist (guitar, bass) and the final „B“ for Ronnie „Balder“ Nilsson (drums). Guitarist Leif Bergqvist was replaced by Peter Martinsson in 1977, and bassist Tommy Gustavsson joined as the fourth band member. They developed their own hard rock sound, inspired by their musical idols and influenced by the burgeoning „NWoBHM“ (New Wave of British Heavy Metal). They self-produced a demo tape and sold it to their local fan base, who were thrilled by it. Motivated by this modest success, they decided to record a full album.

The recordings for this low-budget production took place in two improvised studios: at the biker club (December 19 – 30, 1978), and at a school (February 19 – 24, 1979). Produced by bassist Tommy Gustavsson, their debut album Yes It Isn’t It was released in 1979 as a privately pressing on the band’s own label, Plebb Records, in a limited run of fewer than 500 copies. It features prominent dual lead guitars, playing a varied, at times powerful style of hard rock across different musical styles, as well as long, psychedelic-tinged instrumental jams alongside slow acoustic passages. Outside their small local scene, however, this first and only LP went virtually unnoticed, and the band split up that same year. This extremely rare Swedish original is rated very highly by fans and collectors of 1970s heavy rock and proto-metal, and is consequently very expensive!
