Atlantis- legendary Hungarian beat/rock pioneers 1965


Not punk or new wave music, but this EP collection is one of my favorite from the 60s. This band - Atlantis - was the one of the greatest Hungarian beat/pop band between 1965-1966. Their first EP released in early 1965, and it was the first Hungarian beat record. They had just cover songs (from Beatles, Beach Boys, Johnny Kid and the Pirates, ecc.) but these stuffs were better than the original songs! And they had lot of cool instrumental songs, like Atlantis Rock - it's fantastic!
These album is a unofficial EP collection of the band from 1965-1966. They never released LP, just EP-s until 1971, but after 1966 their EP became shit... The band split up in 1971.
