Supraphon Release Information



Another essential Czech album is getting its jubilee reissue! Exactly 45 years after its release, this highly appreciated listening experience appears as a narrative CD digipak and a 180 gram LP in a fold out sleeve. With a 20-minute composition, combining a rock band with orchestral help, not quite typical in our country at the time, and five other recordings, it is Framus Five consisting of Michal Prokop (vocals), Ivan Trnka (keyboards), Luboš Andršt (guitar), Ladislav Eliáš (bass) and Karel “Káša” Jahn (drums), with guest appearances by the famous Jaroslav “Erno” Šedivý and arrangements by Petr Hannig. A crucial item on the asset side are also the excellent lyrics of the title track, the work of poet Josef Kainar, his first for electrified musicians of the younger generation.

The music has been given care in the form of remastering from the original tapes, confirmed in the studio by Michal Prokop. The cover was given the chance to resemble as closely as possible the one intended in 1971, but then made impossible by ideological prohibition. Fortunately, photographer Alan Pajer retained at least some of the source material, so that he and his graphic designer / daughter Alena could reconstruct the packaging in a form never seen before.

“Město ER” (City ER): The legendary fusion of rock and poetry!
