Changes in the line-up continued, and the final line-up was settled after the arrival of vocalist Vladimír Mišík, saxophonist and flautist Jan Kubík and bassist Vladimír "Guma" Kulhánek. In 1971, this line-up recorded the album Kuře v hodinkách. The poet Josef Kainar wrote the lyrics for the album. This recording was quickly banned by the communist regime under normalization, but has since acquired a cult following and has been cited as one of the best albums from the contemporary rock scene. In 2013, they were the nominated band for Beatová síň slávy. « hide |
