One review says:Plastic people...became leaders of so called"second culture" in Czechslovakia.They were formed by Ivan Jirous in Sept. 1968,one month after the Warsaw pact invasion.Due to their long hair and repertoire of songs/own compositions and covers of songs by The Fugs, Mothers, Cpt.Beefheart and VU/ the group lost their "professional" status in 1970. With home made equipment they played unofficial concerts for the next few years.Among the most important was a performance named "Homage to Andy warhol" and the first festival of the Second Culture in Postupice/1st sept. 1974/along with DG 307 and Umela Hmota III.A sequel to this was held in Bojanovice in febr. 19776 with the sanme group. "A tape recorded in 1974 was eventually smuggled out of the country and released i nFrance on Scopa Invisible label.This album contains provocative lyrics by the underground poet Egon Bondy.Plastics music was violent and harsh, reflecting the austere climate in Prague at the time.But it was also indicateive of the rich Czech jazz tradition with sax and electric piano dominating the instrumental segments. the condition: Cover:MINT Vinyl:MINT Book:MINT
