Liversing-Danuvia MH 1965

Liversing were  the legendary beat band in Hungary until 1966. Atlantis were the "hungarian Beatles", Liversing were the  "hungarian Rolling Stones" . The band formed in 1963, and in the beginning the band was the suburban "little Beatles". But when the Rolling Stones  and the rhythm and blues music style came to behind the Iron Curtain, the band changed to Rolling Stones cover songs. Liversing were the really suburban band, and they were the really beatniks : heavy music, scandals, full house concerts. The original line up split up in 1966 because of lot of different things: they had never released any recordings until 1966, and they had no hungarian language songs ( beat bands started the hungarian language song-writes from 1966) .
Here's the bootleg from 1965, when the band was in the peak of his career. Not so good quality, but you can listening some cool instrumental songs, and lot of cover songs from Rolling StonesThem, Searchers, Swinging Blue Jeans. The singer, Árpád Túry had a great voice, the guitarist, Zsolt Szendrődi was a very cool guitar player. The band played the cover songs better than the originals!

The original line up, 1965:

  • Árpád Túry - Lead vocals
  • Zsolt Szendrődi - Lead guitar
  • Lajos Szabó - Rhythm guitar
  • Zsolt Homonnay - Drums
  • László Varga - Bass
  • György Tar - Technician

02. A milliomos (The millionare)
03. Midnight

After the changes (1989), Liversing became the legendary beat band. They released 2 LP after 2000. The first LP called : "Rhytm and Blues Madhouse in Hungary" and "Magnetic Depths and Electric" in limited edition. The first LP there are their 1965-1966 songs, the 2nd LP there are their 1967 songs with another line up. János Zoltán  wrote the band history in 2005, his book called: "A Nagy Degeneráció- A Liversing story" (meaning: The big degeneration - story of Liversing).

Enjoy!

  1. Shame the quality of the live songs is not that great, still an important document...also showing that they heard the Pretty Things, doing their Big City...
    the last track on the file is an istrumental...it sounds like something by the Shadows. It's not Hey Mama, that I would suspect being 'Mama keep your big mouth shut'the Bo Diddley song covered by the Pretty Things...
