Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

The first ever Czechoslovak LP album by a rock group.
The first edition of about 5000 copies was released in the picture sleeve designed by J. A. Pacák, identical for mono/stereo pressings.
Subsequent represses were distributed in various flavors of neutral preprinted Supraphon sleeves, some with overprinted credits in black letterpress, some blank. The LP was repressed a several times, but probably not after 1970.
The album was first reissued in 1991 with a completely different cover artwork as a part of the “Trezor” edition series, Supraphon 10 0412-4 311 (MC), 10 0412-2 311 (CD). The last known CD reissue was released in 2019, Supraphon SU 6206-2, remastered with bonus tracks and digipack sleeve.
