Artist: Polanie Album: Polanie Country: Poland Label: Polskie Nagrania Muza – PNCD 1268 Release Year: 1968/2009 Genre: Beat / Garage Rock / Rhythm & Blues Format: MP3 CBR 320 One of the most indisputable and unambiguous legends of Polish rock of the 60s. Formed in the summer of 1965, they became the first Polish star group consisting of former members of the Polish bands Czerwono-Czarni and Niebiesko-Czarni. Later that year, they managed to record two EPs with juicy rhythm and blues wild passages. A breakthrough came with The Animals, touring Poland in November 1965, when they supported Polanie in the music field. Two weeks of collaboration turned Polanie into a more aggressive sound. At the beginning of 1966, as the second Polish group (after Niebiesko-Czarni), they were allowed to tour the Iron Curtain, with concerts in Scandinavia and West Germany. In Hamburg's Star Club, they met again with Eric Burdon, who invited them to join The Animals at concerts in the UK. However, this opportunity was missed ostensibly due to problems with passports. In October 1967, they recorded their only LP. Tracks: 01. A Ty Pocałujesz Mnie - 2:58 02. Nie Wiem Sam - 2:11 03. Długo Się Znamy - 2:48 04. Nieprawda, Nie Wierzę - 4:06 05. Nie Zawrócę - 2:58 06.
