Hep Stars recorded this lovely song both in English and in Swedish. (I'm afraid YouTube blocked this video in Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Syria. I kid you not.) • It was originally written by Ed McCurdy and has been covered by many artists such as Pete Seeger, Simon Garfunkel, Joan Baez, John Denver and Johnny Cash. Swedish lyrics by Cornelis Vreeswijk. Here is the English version: • Hep Stars - Last night i had the stra... • The Hep Stars had at the time changed their live repertoire as well, due to Hedlund breaking his foot, requiring him to sit still on a chair on stage. As a result of this, the group had begun incorporating slower songs into their setlist, ditching Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On , which they'd frantically closed every show with. They had now also heard Vreejswijk's rendition of I Natt Jag Drömde Något Som , and began playing the song live. • Unlike previous renditions, both in Swedish and English, is that the Hep Stars' version of it is electrical, featuring Janne Frisk playing electric guitar while Andersson is playing the Hammond B3 organ. So on the night between August 22–23, 1966, the group entered Phillips Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, successfully recording the song. Both the English and the Swedish version have an identical backing track which were then sung in the respective languages. The only difference between the Swedish and the English renditions is that due to the Swedish version only being put out as a single, and not on an LP record, it was never mixed to stereo, whereas the English rendition exists in both mono and stereo versions. The Swedish rendition would be released as a single the following month, while the English version would be included on their second studio album The Hep Stars in December of that year. • I Natt Jag Drömde became the Hep Stars' first single in Swedish. Being originally issued in 80000 copies, it sold an at the time undefeated 300.000 copies in Sweden alone. Due to charting on Svensktoppen, which only played songs in the Swedish language, it attracted an entire new generation of Hep Stars fans. I Natt Jag Drömde was the first cover song the Hep Stars released as a single since 1965's Should I . I Natt Jag Drömde is, together with Cadillac and Sunny Girl , considered to be one of their signature songs.(Wikipedia)
