OMEGA - Elo Omega (Original 1972 Album Version) +6 - AUT Enigmatic Remastered & Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RARE

This is the best album Omega ever recorded and (in my humble opinion) perhaps the best record from Eastern Europe?! At last someone has come to their senses and reissued on CD the fourth in the Hungarian discography, supposedly live record, released in 1972 in an aluminium (!) cover, which was made mainly in the studio, as well as during 'live' performances. The problem is that to all the tracks were added applause, at moments artificial-sounding (e.g. appearing suddenly), or cries from the audience. Personally I really like these shouts and know them almost by heart, and the LP itself is an exemplary case of how heavy, but melodic progressive rock should be played! Years later a clean version, without the audience noise but rather metallically compressed, was released on CD under the title '200 Evvel Az Utolso Haboru Utan' (1998). This one, however, is a remastered and greatly improved edition of the original vinyl release from 1972. It is worth knowing that even the first CD edition of Elo Omega (in a grey cover with red lettering) contained a changed, compressed mix from 1980 (known from the 5-record vinyl box set). So this ORIGINAL VERSION HAS BEEN RELEASED ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME! In addition 2 brand new tracks from the 'studio' CD, 4 tracks from singles of the time and several nice photos from the original vinyl editions (including the Czech Supraphon) are included. The whole thing now sounds very dynamic and miles better than ever, although slight hiss is still audible. AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
