/I don't know if it's a right thread - if not, simply move me somewhere else, I won't make a scene :> / I'm currently writing a work about progressive music in 70's Poland, or rather about listeners. So I need stories from people who were living back then (microhistory) - how did you found out about progressive music, where did you go to listen to this music / buy western records and so on. Maybe you remember what some polish critic said about some polish progressive record? Just write whatever you remember. I don't know if there're many polish prog listeners that age here, but it's worth trying. If you don't want to share your stories in public, you can write on my e-mail: [email protected] , I won't need your full names, or nothing like that as it's not very serious work. So anyway, I would really appreciate your help. :) ------------- "Ffffaaahhh, seeko baaaaaa Neeeeee toe, kare lo yeahhh Sa sa sa sa saa! Fssss Drrrrrrrrr bo ki!

If you're Polish, wouldn't it be easier for you to find answers on the local music forums? I'm sure there are some. We have quite a few Polish members, let's see how many of them are still active... |

well, I could, and I most certainly will search for already existing stories in those forum's. But I asked the question here, as I know this to be the most competent source, and I know the people here really KNOW what prog is. :)

These are very interesting questions. I got interested with this subject after reading progressive biography of snobb. Not from Poland but i think the story is the same or at least smilar. You can read from his profile in prog archives http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=25551 - http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=25551 It would be great if you share with us the materials that you found ------------- Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Thanks for this b4usleep, I meant something exactly like these, but unfortunatelly I HAVE TO write about "PRL" (Polish People's Republic), but I'm looking for exactly this kind of stories. I'll keep digging, later will write here how it went.

I was born in 1980 so I cannot really help. My parents listened to Niemen, Niebiesko Czarni, Czerwony Gitary...in the sixties. My father had a friend of his who collected vinyls from Australia, and this way he could discover a lot of "western" artists. They heard of Grechuta, Breakout, Rodowicz, Skaldowie through radio and television I guess. Also, depending where you lived (I am from Przemysl area) I am not sure it was possible to purchase easily this kind of stuff back in the days of Communism; My parents left Poland at the time of Martial Law because of this rotten system (a system that many proggers, among which Robert Wyatt, were praising in the western countries)) and I think they had far more worries than buying progressive rock records.
