Sarolta Zalatnay, “Hadd Mondjam El,” Well Hung (Finders Keepers, 2008)
A happy New Year, and new decade to us all. I thought I’d turn back, rather than look forward, to a track from Finders Keepers’ exceptional compilation of Hungarian rarities from the 70s. The opening drum beat is worth the price of admission alone. Originally a contestant on one of Hungarian television’s singing shows in the 60s, Zalatnay blossomed in the burgeoning 70s rock scene, recording a number of singles, most of which had become the stuff of legend for crate diggers. Finders Keepers has also reissued her self-titled album of 1973 that includes this track. More from this great comp soon, but for now, there is enough here to keep you busy.
