Aku ja köyhät pojat (lit. 'Aku and the poor boys') is Eppu Normaali's sixth album, released on June 5, 1983. It was different from their previous album Tie vie, because they did not use piano at all; as a result, the music is more guitar-based.
The album was named after a CCR album called Willy and the Poor Boys, which follows the format of their previous release, Akun tehdas (lit. 'Aku's factory'), which was named after the CCR album Cosmo's Factory.[1][2]
Aku ja köyhät pojat has sold over 34,563 copies, and it went gold in 1991.[3]
