Wonderful Hungarian 60s Sounds:ILLES RE-UPLOADED!

Photobucket
Here are ILLES best records,"NEHEZ AZ UT" and "ILLESEK ES POFONOK", their second and third album plus a bunch of bonus tracks originally released as singles during 1968-1969. Plenty of great and very original tunes on both LPs, still many of my favourites were only issued as 45s.
One of their greatest track and I imagine being a hit in Hungary is "Igen" from 1966.
I included that and 9 more songs from 1965-1967 in a new link.
You can hear the band finding their own sound and really coming together by the time they recorded "Igen" and the following ones.
Check it out and do leave comments.
See the original posts for more info.
Also still available their first album posted back in March...

Hi, this is my first time here and I have to say the Illes singles are brilliant - including track 2, the very credible twangy instrumental with sax solo! As always, it is fascinating to hear pop forms from the US and UK in the hands of musicians steeped in different traditions. I'm looking forward to hearing Illes' later work. Thanks very much for publicizing this great music!
