Supraphon Release Information



A mighty dose of Czechoslovak bigbeat of the sixties! The domestic scene is captured here at a time of temporary freedom, musical and stylistic maturity, just before the post-Spring return of political interference in the development of the rock genre.

A total of 53 tracks represent the various forms of beat gramophone production of the time, from cover versions of foreign bands to completely original hits of their own to the emergence of supergroups of comparable European quality.

The first CD maps the events surrounding the premiere national Czechoslovak beat festival in December 1967, the second records the situation of the following one, held a year later. The set of studio recordings presents the winners and prize-winners of the competitive shows of the time (Soulmen, Blue Effect, Olympic, Prudy, Framus Five, Bluesmen, Synkopy 61 or Rebels); concert recordings from 1968 also offer Samuels Band, Blues Five, Flamingo, Flamengo or George and Beatovens.

To complete the view and listening, there are reminders of other major Brno (Atlantis, Vulcan) or Prague (Matadors, Juventus, Cardinals or Komets) rock activities. The booklet with the editorial note is decorated with memorial photographs of Mr. Dlabola, Mr. Janovský and Mr. Pajer.

22 bands = 53 songs = 160 minutes of 60s bigbeat!
