Otteita Tuomari Nurmion laulukirjasta is a tribute album by Sielun Veljet to Tuomari Nurmio, recorded in 1990 but only released in 2007. It is the only Sielun Veljet recording to top the Finnish album charts.[1]
Sielun Veljet had already released several Tuomari Nurmio covers. Their first album, Sielun Veljet, contains "Huda huda" and Musta laatikko has five songs credited to Nurmio. Alf Forsman had even played in Nurmio's band before joining Sielun Veljet. Ismo Alanko has said that he sees Nurmio as "the absolute number one of Finnish songwriters, especially as a lyricist".[2]
Three recorded songs were destroyed when the original tape was magnetized, including "Lasten mehuhetki", one of Nurmio's most popular songs.[3]
