  Naked (1970)

  Naked was actually recorded before Blue Science, but disagreements over production caused the tapes to be shelved for eight months. A documentary of the making of the album shows the band stressed to the breaking point. Many critics panned the album, but when it became obvious it might be the last work of the Ladybugs, it went double platinum. The cover featured the band again in conservative nude shots, this time at a public bath house.

  Experimental (1969)

  As the title suggests, Experimental was filled with music experimentations, as well as bits and pieces of songs that should have been finished before being recorded. The one decent track was Pinapple Dance, later recorded in a much more finished version on Rebel Girls. All songs on the album were performed by Ep!phanee with a rotating group of studio musicians. Ruth De Molay played drums on all tracks except Darkness. All songs were written by Ep!phanee except Burnt Umber with was by Ep!phanee and Ruth De Molay.

  Det Underbara Fantastiska Svenska Albumet Som Jag Alltid Ville Göra (1969)

  As a native of Sweden, Ep!phanee was determined to write and record an album in Swedish, which she did between the Ladybugs sessions for Platinum Dream and Matching Tattoos. The album was popular neither in Sweden nor anywhere else, though it has gained a cult following over the years as an (unintended) comedic album. All songs are written and entirely performed by Ep!phanee.

  Virgin (1970)

  The Virgin album is far more famous for its cover than any of the songs it contained. Not content with the rather tame nudity displayed on Platinum Dream and Naked, Ep!phanee posed in full frontal glory on the front cover and full rear nudity on the back. The album was sold wrapped in a brown paper cover. All songs were written and performed by Ep!phanee.

  Long Held (1971)

  Sometimes (non completely unfairly) called Ep!phanee’s first real solo album, Long Held is so named because the vast majority of the songs on the album were written prior to 1967. All songs were written by Ep!phanee and most feature a pop form of lead guitar, guitar, bass, drums. A number of famous musicians lent their talents though no records exist of exactly who played what on various tracks.

  Memories of Dust (1972)

  The most successful Ep!phanee solo album, Memories of Dust was not without its bizarre experiments. The Hysterian National Anthem is a track that consists of a twelve minute long series of screams, while My Wish is 15 seconds of barely audible murmuring. Still, Cortez, After the French Kiss, I’m a Fool, and Darkness Always Falls are all solid songs. Memories of Dust was released as the only single. It climbed to number 3 before dropping to number 7, but it stayed in the top ten for almost two years. Since that time it has been listed as one of the most influential songs of all times in lists by critics and social historians alike.
