EGON BONDY & THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE - EGON BONDY'S HAPPY HEARTS CLUB BANNED

Here's one of my favorite albums, EGON BONDY'S HAPPY HEARTS CLUB BANNED from (then) CZECHOSLOVAKIAN poet and writer EGON BONDY and the group that evolved around him, THE PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE... This album was made from cassettes smuggled out of the country and a lot of the members were either in jail or hiding when this came out...
Beautiful music, they were very much influenced by FRANK ZAPPA, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and THE VELVET UNDERGROUND... To me, like FELA KUTI and his music represented the fight against corrupt, cruel dictatorships in AFRICA, EGON BONDY and all those around him and the music and art they made represented the same fight but in EASTERN-EUROPE...
The album comes with a beautiful booklet full with newpaper clippings, art, poems and photo's and I'll include this booklet too...
The PLASTIC PEOPLE are still active...

KOLLINGTON AYINLA & THE FUJI 78 ORGANISTATION

I took this off a very, very old cassette, I recorded this from the radio must have been around 1981/82 and I've been looking for this, FUJI MUSIC FROM NIGERIA all those years. All I found was a cd and an lp (that sadly got lost) from the great BARRISTER...

There's a bunch of incredible FUJI albums to download here:

http://globalgroovers.blogspot.com/2009/11/alhaji-chief-professor-kollington.html

And you cannot imagine how happy I am that I found these albums!!!

But I still haven't found this song!!!

I'm sorry about the terrible sound quality, like I said I took it off a very old cassette...
