Polanie is the first Polish supergroup, founded in 1965 by members from the earlier most popular Polish beat bands of the '60s, Czerwono-Czarni and Niebiesko-Czarni. In their first period of activity, they mostly played instrumental covers of Western jazz and beat standards. Inspired by their performances together with the legendary The Animals, they turned toward somewhat more aggressive blues and rhythm and blues, becoming the most impressive Polish band of that period. This CD features an excellent selection of Polanie's radio, TV, and concert recordings. The album is complemented by 7 recordings from 1968 by Nowi Polanie, the original band's spinoff, which was oriented toward soul music with some psychedelic influences.
