Although Marek Gretucha was ANAWA's leader, he is not featured on this (their 3rd) album.
ReplyDeletewooooaw...'any infos much appreciated' - one of my fave records here...
ReplyDeletefirst,let's get things straight - the post's title should read simply 'Anawa' rather than 'Marek Grechuta&Anawa'. yes, this lp was made after he had left the band. it's referred to as 'Anawa w/out Grechuta'. i'm sooo anxious to hear this again - my vinyl copy is totally worn out, and the cd version is very hard to obtain, unlike all the other Grechuta stuff. btw, it looks like the song titles are somewhat messed up.
in the absence of several major figures of the original line-up, this lp is - as Jim Mutantsounds would say - the odd duck. its sound is more hippy and more catchy than the band's previous, somewhat literary, efforts.
i'll post some more interesting info soon, promise.

okay, first of all, the sound files need splitting and renaming - there are maybe 12 songs here, not 7. sorry, i can't remember all the titles, my own copy must be in the basement.
ReplyDeleteAs Marek Grechuta (not 'Gretucha') is absent from these recordings, vocal duties are shared by two guys - the one with the more expressive voice is Andrzej Zaucha. Later on, in the 80s, he became a popular pop/soul singer, Al Jarreau type, and he died in October 1991 in not so usual circumstances: he was making love with a lady in a car and the couple was shot dead by the lady's husband.
The record's cover was designed and made by mr. Sawka, who left for the USA and became a well-known artist - he worked with the Grateful Dead, for example. (did he do the Anthem Of The Sun artwork?)
and going back to Grechuta, he died a year ago. he suffered from many illnesses, of the body as well of the soul, his teenage son gone missing in the early 90s. he truly lived in the world of art, and on art. he is respected, well, by everybody here, some of his songs are the cornerstones of Polish popular music. i guess everything he did in the 70s is a must.
cheers again for promoting Polsh stuff - Darek
please correct the name
ReplyDeleteNOT Gretucha BUT Grechuta

When I first read the description, I got all excited cuz I really have a jones for acid polka music. Then, after listening to the tuneage, I realized you intended to type acid FOLK!
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, a great slab o' music ;)
I love this album. Managed to download the CD version, and it seems for the CD reissue they used different versions of at least one song (Abys Czul) - I haven't got around to comparing the others side by side yet.
