VA - Big Beat Line 1965-1968

It may (still) not be common knowledge yet, but one of Europe's best beat scenes of the '60s could be found in Czechoslowakia. This awesome DOUBLE-CD compilation contains recordings from essential representatives s.a. The Beatmen (6 tracks), Crystal (4 tracks), Flamengo (9 tracks), Juventus (5 tracks), Matadors (6 tracks), Mefisto (6 tracks), Olympic (10 tracks), Synkopa Ob Pierov (3 tracks) and Vulkan (6 tracks).

Takmer 160 minut hudby, ucebnica bigbeatovej historie v miniprofiloch deviatich ceskoslovenskych kapiel na 2CD. Po vlanajsej uspesnej kompilacii Beatline, ktora mapovala dobu okolo dvoch ceskoslovenskych beatovych festivalov, Supraphon ponuka presun v case o niekolko rokov spat. Polovica sestdesiatich rokov minuleho storocia bola pre domaci bigbeat zasadna. Po ideologicky bezpecnom okuzleni gitarovymi instrumentalkami v style The Shadows a tiez omnoho konfliktnejsej rock’n’rollovej jazde so solovymi spevakmi, prisla Mersey zaplava.

Od roku 1962 prudko narastajuci pocet mladych suborov, len v Prahe spocitanych na stovky, sa uz nedal prehliadnut a hlavne prepocut. Postupne prenikanie beatovych kapiel do rozhlasovych studii a na SP ci EP vinyly firmy Supraphon nebolo az take samozrejme, ale pod tlakom obrovskeho dopytu a aj za mierneho topenia politickych ladovcov predsa len prebiehalo. Na prvy samostatny album si vsak nasi rockeri museli pockat az do roku 1968.

Kompilacia Big Beat Line 1965-1968 ponuka miniprofily deviatich kapiel, ktorych osudy zvycajne mapuju vyvoj od lubozvucnych instrumentaliek cez prve viachlasove pokusy az po najdenie uplne vlastnej cesty. Najdete tu mimoriadnych beatovych vokalistov (Karel Cernoch, Karel Kahovec, Pavel a Petr Novakovci, Vladimir Misik, Pavel Sedlacek, Viktor Sodoma alebo Hana a Petr Ulrychovci), zdatnych solujucich instrumentalistov (R. Hladik, F. Francl, O. Jahn, J. F. Obermayer alebo K. Svoboda) a aj zostavu konzistentnej partie, ktorej vtedajsia dolezitost a kvalita trva dodnes (The Beatmen, The Matadors ci Olympic). Z povodnych pasov bolo nanovo remastrovanych maximum moznych skladieb.

2CD je obohatene obsiahlym bookletom s mnozstvom dokumentarnych fotografii. Takmer 160 minut hudby, ucebnica bigbeatovej historie a prijemne pocuvanie nielen pre pamatnikov. Devat slavnych bigbeatovych kapiel a ich 60 skladieb.https://www.kukninato.sk/hudba/fajnsmekri-pozor-vysla-kompilacia-big-beat-line-1965-1968/
