The Plastic People of the Universe

The information below is taken from the band’s official website, which appears at the band’s page in PA. Mostly, the current problem is Czech diacritics, which are displayed not always in the right way. There are also some other inaccuracies. All the titles, names etc. are copied/pasted from the official site. The albums are listed in order of their appearance in band’s website. Most albums haven’t date of release. They have, instead, the “mastering” date. I’m not sure “mastering” can stand for “release”.

Spelling errors corrected, including title. Line-up cut-&-pasted. 14. The Plastic People of The Universe & Agon Orchestra - Pašijové hry / Passion Play This is not the album we have defined for 1978. It was recorded in 2004 ..... "Recorded live on 24.4.2004 at the Archa Theatre in Prague" ..... We do not have this currently defined on PA. Agreed? If so I can add it if you wish.

2. 14. is a different album. It has a "The Plastic People of The Universe & Agon Orchestra - Pašijové hry / Passion Play" title and violet cover (the one currently appearing near the "Pašijové hry velikonoční" album). It should be added with a separate entry. I can add it by myself, also (hopefully).
