This is an album of good, juicy electric jazz fusion with occasional references to Polish folk music. A debute effort by the band, it was recorded at the time when Polish jazz scene was - in my humble opinion - at its acme, so the album somehow captures the elevated spirit of its era. I don't know much about the band in excess of what is written on the LP cover (which is enclosed in case anyone is curious). Extra Ball issued 3 more LPs in late 70s which are supposedly just as good as 'Birthday'. Let's thank Mr. Arkady Medvedev from Kurgan, Russia for kindly sharing the rip of a vinyl from his personal collection with us.
Tracklist:
1. Narodziny
2. Taniec Maryny
3. Bez Powrotu
4. Podroz W Gory
