Supraphon Release Information



From bubble-gum to hardrock: two albums, 10 bonuses.

The 33 tracks symbolise the longed-for joint path of Jiří Schelinger and F. R. Čech, from humorous ditties to serious rock. The two (solo and band) albums with bonuses feature stylistically diverse songs, with the first one in part connected with the vocalist Viktor Sodoma. The pack will delight fans of simple melodies with almost Dada lyrics, yet it also encompasses enthralling ballads and rather noisy pieces, including remarkable cover versions.

At the time when the recordings were made hearing the Czech revivals of songs by The Beatles, Santana, Status Quo and Black Sabbath was a true feast for the local music lovers. The two CDs also contain several engrossing compositions by O. Říha, Schelinger, with the bonuses including J. Uhlíř’s and K. Svoboda’s hits. The recordings, originally released in 1975 on Supraphon and Panton, are thus stylistically heterogeneous, yet they clearly indicate the artists’ future gravitation towards vocally and instrumentally excellent rock music with more sophisticated lyrics.

The booklet includes period and new responses, as well as documentary photographs. The 2CD pack is to supplement the reeditions three years ago of the later albums Hrrr na ně and …nám se líbí.


Kalemegdan Disk Additions



This is a nice collection of early Czechoslovakian hardrock. While the inserting of disturbing pop songs unfortunately has destroyed “Báječní muži” as an album, “Nemám hlas jako zvon” has become much better and is recommended to all listeners of early Seventies’ hardrock.
