"In the 70s, Skaldowie were on top; they played many great concerts through the Europe with their brilliant musical quality. Unfortunately there are no documentary from their 70s live shows, except of the only one song released on vinyl by East German label Amiga.

"So we have decided to release this album, The Silence Is Crying - Leningrad 1972, An Official Live Bootleg. The thirteen songs, including their opus magnum - over 16 minutes long suite 'Krywan, Krywan,' which is based on the Polish folklore, were recorded during the tournee in the USSR in Autumn of 1972 on the amateur tape recorded, using one simple microphone. The sound quality is not brilliant and we have called it as the official bootleg. But this is very nice bootleg, with the really better sound as in many western famous releases. Anyway it is maybe the only one chance to hear how the band played live in early 70s... Just listen to their great hits from 60s and - last but not least - live versions of Skaldowie's progressive rock tracks from the famous early 70s albums.



"This album is released as digipack, with some rare photos from 1972 Russian Tour, maybe also from the same live show. We have got it from the one of the numerous Russian fans of the band."
