Supraphon Release Information



The life of Petr Novák (1945-1997) was cruelly cut short before he had reached the age of 52. This 2 CD compilation serves as clear proof that his songs have not aged in the slightest!

The compiler Jaromír Tůma has concentrated on the first CD a total of 23 pieces, up there with the very finest Czech rock songs spanning the period from the 1960s to the 1990s. They include the classic hits, with scope also being afforded to tunes from seemingly less striking albums such as Dávné sliby (Old Promises).

The second CD contains a brilliant selection of almost 20 lesser-known Novák pieces, affording the listener the opportunity to recall flipping vinyl singles, define the form of the albums in a broader perspective, familiarise himself with the rare English versions, as well as enjoy almost symbolical recordings, including Hlad je jen žízeň v převlecích (Hunger Is just Disguised Thirst).

A definitive collection – that perhaps is the most apposite designation for this set of songs created by an artist who has become a permanent symbol of top-notch Czech “big beat”. The 2 CD pack is the first to offer the maximum of Petr Novák’s unforgettable hits alongside a cross-section of other seminal songs.

All the essential Novák in one handy package.


Kalemegdan Disk Additions



This is an excellent compilation with a focus on Petr Novák’s early years.

The first CD contains 15 songs by George and Beathovens, one of the best Czechoslovakian beat and rock bands, recorded from 1967 to 1970 and seven more songs by Petr Novák recorded from 1975 to 1996 which suit in style as addition.

The second CD is a bit more mixed, but again ten songs are from the original George and Beathovens period and the remaining nine songs were recorded in the 70s and 80s.
