Popis - Olympic: Želva [] [VINYL]:
With the re-edition of Olympics debut LP Zelva (1968), Supraphon has launched a series that will gradually map all the band's studio and live albums right up until 1990. The final part will provide a retrospective of earlier recordings released by the Best I.A. label. The legendary Zelva (Turtle), which in the Czech Disc of Discs poll came fifth (between Karel Kryl and Flamengo), is supplemented by seven bonus singles dating from 1965-67, whose multi-part vocals were Olympic's reply to the Mersey sound of The Beatles.
For the first time since 1968, you can feast your eyes on the original artwork of Olympic's debut album, adorned with illustrations by Jan Antonn Pacak, the band's percussionist. Excellent work was done in this respect by Vrkoslav and Zamostny from Olympic's fan club. The CD's remastered sound corresponds to 2013 standards yet with regard to the original analogue patina. In addition to the original sleevenotes and new commentaries by the edition's executive producer, Jaromr Tuma, the extensive booklet also contains unique (in several cases previously unpublished!) photographs of the band.
The anniversary edition of the first Czech rock album: legendary music + plenty of concise information.
