History
Added, thanks!
Yes, Swedish, but not the first version.
LOL, okay, I found the lead below but didn't forward. It was apparently released the same year as the current "first release":

BTW, I have another performance in my notes with the same uniform song title credited to Bjørn & Philip released 1975....
Bonus lead: Swedish? Copacabana (At the Copa)

Well, I only added Vad är jag för dig to the already existing work and version (plus corrected wrong spellings). Quite likely, the first Swedish version was by Göran Hagwall on a 1970 7" (Polydor 2053 287; later also included on an LP). That needs to be verified, though.
I stumbled over by Bjørn & Philip's version, too. A (just) brief research only resulted in their version on two compilations but no release in their own name..
Added Alexander and their version plus others on the same album.
Thanks.
Hmmm... when I sniffed around, I didn't think the Alexander already on site was the same artist as your Alexander [SE]. Sure about that?
Spent about half an hour on omitting the consequences of a slight misclick. Must have been doing some detail wrong... Should be right, now.
Sorry about that, Better to catch now than get an error report later.
The Hagwall release below looks familiar, so it is likely a passed lead:

Anyway, it's 1978 not 1970 (which would be impossible). You likely need to correct that date typo in that comment.
Thanks for the hint and the sympathy.
A closer look at the Hagwall credits reveals that A1 (the track in question) and B1 are the only tracks (c) 1978. That includes that all others most likely were first released around 1970 - and having to research for that or those releases. So far I only found an entry for a self-titled 1970 LP (Polydor 2379 016), but without a tracklist.
In that respect, I'm somewhat blocked right now - except for adding Hagwall's version to the existing Bee Gees bästa på svenska album entry
