Tages formed in May 1963 as a duo and quickly expanded into quintet, though no music by them would be released until more than a year later, when their debut single "Sleep Little Girl" was released in October 1964.[1] Up until October 1968, 23 singles by the group were released, though six of those were unauthorized.[2] Out of these singles, 13 managed to reach both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp while two further singles only reached Tio I Topp.[3][4] In 1969, the band changed their name to Blond and three further singles were released between July 1969 and July 1970, out of which one reached Tio i Topp. Combined under both names, the band released in total 27 singles between October 1964 and July 1970.[5]
Between September 1964 and January 1967, the group was signed to Platina Records, an independent record label run by Evert Jakobsson.[6] With the label, the group released three studio albums.[7] Dissatisfied with the label's economical status, they waited until their contract expired, which it did on New Year's Day 1967.[8] They then promptly signed with Parlophone Records, who, with a bigger budget, could afford to give the group more time in the studio. This resulted in another two albums, Contrast and Studio, both released in 1967.[9] The group's final album The Lilac Years was issued under the name Blond after they had received a contract with Fontana Records in 1969.[10] In the UK, the group had releases on four different labels, His Master's Voice, Columbia Records, Parlophone and MGM Records.[11]
