The Flamingo Group featuring Marie Rottrová & Petr Němec - This Is Our Soul (1971)



Fabulously funky sounds from the Soviet Bloc.  These tracks are mostly cover versions of songs by American artists but there's enough energy and personality here to make this album a very worthwhile listen with some great party starters.  And both sides end with a mind-melting instrumental freak-out!

Tracklist:

01         Big Chain         
02         The Weight         
03         Hey Lonely Girl         
04         Ain't No Way         
05         Sunny         
06         Chain Of Fools         
07         I've Got Dreams To Remember         
08         Oh! What A Fool I've Been         
09         Nothing's Too Good For My Baby        
10         Purple Angels         
11         Quasimodo's Dream

Get it HERE.

classic find! Love their version of The Weight; wish I had found this to play on my show right after Levon's death. email me at tsarabia@wbez.org- would love to get you on my show to talk about your crate digging.

You know, I'm a long time fan of your blog, but this IS IT. This is without a doubt the best thing I've ever heard. I only want to listen to popular songs covered by people who learned the lyrics phonetically.
