Collegium Musicum - Konvergencie (1971)

Konvergencie was a double album with four songs of about twenty minutes in lenght each, but this new release includes also some bonus tracks - rock compositions of classical music or jazzy smashes (with incorrect english lyrics). A legendary album with a legendary line-up. And a little bit of trivia - the original coverart had to be changed because of the communist regime, and so Marián Varga's cigarette had to be removed. Accidentally, it was done very amateurishly, so he looked like he "had a herpes".
