Overview

Omega 55: Once Upon a Time in the East is a monumental celebration of over half a century of rock history. Released in 2017, this double album serves as both a retrospective and a unique collaborative project. It brings together the "Princes of the East" with fellow rock legends from the former Eastern Bloc and the Hungarian country-rock icons 100 Folk Celsius.

Disc 1 (Once Upon a Time in Western) features Omega alongside 100 Folk Celsius, reimagining classic Omega compositions with a country and western flair, dedicated to the fellow Hungarian band Fonográf. Disc 2 (Once Upon a Time in the East) is a powerhouse of international rock collaboration. Led by János "Mecky" Kóbor, Omega performs alongside iconic figures like Dieter Birr from Germany and Józef Skrzek from Poland. The album also features a poignant dedication to The Scorpions, including a cover of "Still Loving You" and a version of Omega's own "White Dove" (Gyöngyhajú lány).
