This stuff is just absolutely wonderful. From Poland. From the 60s. Femme pop. With a swinging beat, and flutes, and shades, and cute movements, and some psychedelia, and girls in Mary Quant-style outfits.
Mira Kubasinska & Breakout - Poszlabym za toba
Katarzyna Sobczyk - Trzynastego
Katarzyna Sobczyk - O mnie sie nie martw
Alibabki - Idę do ciebie (1968)
...near-last, but certainly not least...
Krystyna Konarska - Powracajaca melodyjka
...a bonus video featuring what looks to be an early Polish prototype of Pan's People.
Helena Majdaniec - Juz raz bylo tak (1967)

Filipinki - Batumi (1968)
