Greatest Hits + 10 bonuses on CD

At the beginning of September we will commemorate the seventy-fifth birthday of singer and composer Petr Novak. His songs belong to the golden fund of our beat music, but also to the memory of all those who lived through the musical 60s. “Náhrobní kámen” (Tombstone), “Já budu chodit po špičkách” (I Will Walk on Tiptoe), “Povídej” (Talkl) or “Klaunova zpověď” (Clown’s Confession) are more than just tones and words, they are a sign of the times.

In 1986, the singer himself selected 12 songs that he considered the most historically famous or important. Supposedly, due to the failure to find the original recordings, new versions were made, certainly interesting, but capturing Novak and the band in a different age and technical equipment. The present LP therefore preserves the selection and order of the dozen hallowed recordings, but offers original versions of songs with the hallmark of romantic boyhood and the fervor of rock’s early days.

In CD format, ten bonus tracks turn the compilation into a best of, as the added songs from 1969 to 1996 capture Peter Novak’s journey from the “post-occupation” “Dne štěstí” (Days of Happiness) to the authentically lived-out “Hlad je jen žízeň v převlecích” (Hunger Is only Thirst in Disguise). The 22 tracks in total thus record not only the musical evolution but also the life story of a man with a voice seemingly ordinary and a lyrical repertoire seemingly unsuited to the lanky figure. The loves in his songs, moreover, were rarely entirely happy, but nonetheless unceremoniously true, and therefore also with staying power to this day.
