YU GRUPA - YU Grupa (1st Album) +9 - AUT Enigmatic Remastered & Expanded - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Austrian, remastered, nearly 80-minute edition (in the superb, original cover!) of the excellent debut, released by Jugoton in 1973, by a Yugoslav formation once compared to Black Sabbath, though in truth (and despite the glam image...) closer to the style of Wishbone Ash and Led Zeppelin. Excellent, guitar-driven, rock playing as a trio - with catchy melodies (sometimes brushing against the local folk - super!), a rich, spacious sound and a very good, unpretentious vocal. A little earlier the British branch of CBS had been interested in the band (the group even appeared at the famous London club Marquee!), but in the end the session never took place, though the band bought itself good equipment - which is, by the way, perfectly audible on the record! In addition 8 rare tracks from the first 4 (excellent) singles are included, as well as a live track from the double compilation album 'Boom Pop Fest '73'. A MUST!
