Overview
Presenting a true relic of Hungarian rock and roll history: the hand-signed original 1978 debut LP from the band Sprint. Formed by the charismatic László Komár and the virtuoso guitarist István "Judy" Faragó, Sprint brought a fresh, high-energy Rock & Roll and Pop-Rock sound to the Hungarian airwaves in the late 70s.
This specific copy is a high-value collector's prize as it bears the original signature of László Komár on the front cover. Komár, widely regarded as the most faithful Hungarian interpreter of Elvis Presley's legacy, was a titan of the local music scene. The album features a sophisticated mix of rock energy and orchestral arrangements (conducted by Tamás Balassa), capturing a unique era where traditional rock & roll met modern studio production.
Összefoglalás (Hungarian)
A magyar rock and roll történetének egy igazi ritkasága: a Sprint együttes eredeti, 1978-as debütáló nagylemeze, dedikált példányban. A zenekart a karizmatikus Komár László és a gitárvirtuóz Faragó "Judy" István alapította, friss és energikus hangzást hozva a 70-es évek végi magyar könnyűzenébe. Ez a példány különleges eszmei értéket képvisel, hiszen a borítón a "magyar Elvis", Komár László eredeti aláírása látható. Az album a Magyar Rádió stúdiójában készült, és tökéletesen ötvözi a rock and roll lüktetését a szimfonikus hangszereléssel.
Interesting Facts
- The Supergroup Roots: László Komár came from the legendary band Scampolo, while István Faragó brought his expertise from the Flotta and Scampolo eras, making Sprint a "mini-supergroup" of the 70s.
- Technological Benchmark: The album was one of the early Hungarian pop productions to be processed with the Dolby "A" Noise Reduction System, ensuring a clarity that was state-of-the-art for the era.
- Cultural Bridge: Side A and Side B track titles are listed in both Hungarian and English (and even Russian on the back), reflecting the band's aspirations for international appeal within the Eastern Bloc.
- The "Judy" Guitar: István Faragó was famously known as "Judy" and was one of the few Hungarian guitarists of the time to masterfully incorporate the tambura (a traditional string instrument) into a rock setting, as heard on Side B.
- The Signatures: Authentically signed copies from László Komár are highly sought after since his passing, as they represent the golden age of Hungarian "retro" rock and roll.
