To alleviate any confusion from other reviews you may read, Side 1 is the
Czech vocal pop session, whereas Side 2 is the Blues rock portion in
English. Despite Side 2 having the better rep, arguably the first track
on the album is the clear winner (sounding more like Os Mundi's Latin
Mass). Just the fact that The Blue Effect were allowed to sing in
English is quite the extraordinary accomplishment for a band behind the
Iron Curtain in 1970. A fine album given the time and place, but far
different than the jazzier efforts to come, and one could easily make
the case this is Blue Effect/Modry Efekt's weakest album.
Personal collection
CD: 2009 Supraphon (as The Blue Effect 1969-1989 9 CD compilation)
