The group was fronted by three different vocalists: Halina FrackowiakFind albums by this artist, Jerzy KozlowskiFind albums by this artist and Wojciech GassowskiFind albums by this artist, and its instrumental sound was based on brass instruments rather than the usual lead guitar / keyboards sound popular at the time. In retrospect this music represents some of the best sounds of the incredible Polish music scene at the time. This expanded edition includes also the group´s only EP as well as live material.

TEST ~ Z ARCHIWUM POLSKIEGO RADIA, VOL.09 POLSKIE RADIO 1060 (Barcode: 5907812240608) ~ POLAND ~ Blues-Rock Recorded: 1971 - 1975 Released: 2008 TestFind albums by this artist was a great Polish Blues-Rock / Jazz-Rock group, which recorded only one studio album. This album collects their radio recordings and is a perfect companion to that studio album. The group was formed by three ex-ABCFind albums by this artist members, including the charismatic leader / vocalist Wojciech GassowskiFind albums by this artist. Later on the group was joined by the superb guitarist Dariusz KozakiewiczFind albums by this artist (ex-BreakoutFind albums by this artist) and the group´s sound achieved its full glory. In retrospect this is magnificent music, some of the best recorded in Poland during the 1970s, which is of course a great distinction. The sound quality of these recordings is excellent and even better than the studio album. This is a wonderful reminder of some unforgettable moments in the history of Polish Rock. Warmly recommended!
