4) In Husák's #Czechoslovakia, the poems of #EgonBondy were banned. The #PlasticPeopleOfTheUniverse were not allowed to record/distribute their #music. This didn't stop PPU from recording an album in 1974–75 with lyrics mainly taken from Bondy poems. After PPU's 1976 imprisonment, a Czech in London tried to get the album released abroad. It was released in 1978 in France and England, including the track "Toxica." #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Czechia #PragueUnderground https://youtu.be/4X46rmf8534?si=h_ksZ8_9TD1mm2wI

#BandcampFriday #NWWList fans will rejoice over this re-release. #PlasticPeopleOfTheUniverse were banned and jailed under Czech communism. Authorities claimed their music would have a "negative social impact". Influenced by idiosyncratic rhythms and absurdist wordplay of certain bands from the 1960s, their music is a cross between rock and improvised jazz with an Eastern European twist. https://moved-by-sound.bandcamp.com/album/egon-bondys-happy-hearts-club-band
