Overview
This is a rare, fully signed original 1991 pressing of the Tátrai Band's standout album, A küszöbön túl (Beyond the Threshold). Emerging at the dawn of the post-socialist era, the Tátrai Band represented the absolute pinnacle of sophisticated Hungarian rock and blues. Led by the country's premier guitar hero, Tibor Tátrai, and fronted by the gravel-voiced soul legend Charlie Horváth, this album perfectly captures the group's "Golden Era" sound.
The front cover is adorned with the original signatures of the band, making this a high-value artifact for collectors of Central European music history. During the early 90s, the vinyl industry was rapidly being replaced by CDs in Hungary, meaning original LP pressings of albums like this were produced in significantly smaller quantities than in the previous decade. Finding a complete set of autographs on a 1991 vinyl release is a true "needle in a haystack" find.
Összefoglalás (Hungarian)
A magyar rockzene egyik legigényesebb formációjának, a Tátrai Band-nek az A küszöbön túl című albuma, eredeti 1991-es, teljesen dedikált bakelit lemezen. A Tátrai Tibor gitárvirtuóz és Horváth Charlie soul-hangja által fémjelzett együttes ezen a lemezen érte el hangzásának egyik csúcspontját. A borítón látható eredeti aláírások különleges értéket képviselnek, hiszen a 90-es évek elején a bakelit gyártás már visszaszorulóban volt a CD-vel szemben, így az ilyen dedikált LP példányok rendkívül ritkák a gyűjtői piacon.
Interesting Facts
- Guitar Heroism: Tibor Tátrai is widely considered the "Hungarian Eric Clapton" or "Jimi Hendrix," and this album features some of his most melodic and technically proficient solo work.
- Charlie's Soul: Lead singer Charlie Horváth had just returned to the forefront of the Hungarian scene after years of performing abroad, bringing a world-class blues/soul sensibility that defined the band's identity.
- The "Tom-Tom" Sound: The album was engineered by Péter Dorozsmai at the then-cutting-edge Tom-Tom Studio, resulting in a production quality that was far ahead of its contemporaries in the region.
- Cover Art: The cover photo, featuring the band in leather and denim jackets against an urban backdrop, captures the raw but professional "road band" aesthetic they were famous for.
