Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring an iconic, instantly recognizable cover of frontman Tadeusz Nalepa walking with his young son, this album essentially codified hard electric blues in Eastern Europe. The band delivers a tight, immensely heavy set of riff-driven tracks, bringing the grittiness of John Mayall or Cream to a Polish audience craving Western rock aesthetics. It remains an absolutely towering, foundational achievement of Polish rock history.
