a Polish pop party



Many thanks to Kevin Pearce for posting the original links.

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)

...and a tug of the ET beard to Tamsin for sorting me out with this.

Filipinki - Batumi (1968)

    Nice. If you want a Polish 60s girl group, I once found a record by this lot in a charity shop on George St;

    That's great Tamsin. Any chance of an MP3?

    I would if I knew how to work my usb turntable (had it 3 years now and still no joy). Once I can entice someone to show me how to use it, I'll send one over

    ace! it's really easy actually. even I managed it...after, um, a year of it sitting idle, and with mere weeks to go till we left for Australia
