Here is a review from Dusty Groove...

"A definite "unique selection" of grooves here - not just because the rare tracks are all from 70s Poland, but also because most of them have never been reissued either! The package is a wonderful introduction to the kinds of grooves we've been digging from Poland for years - that mad mix of jazz, funk, fusion, electric, and vocal elements that somehow managed to flourish wonderfully during the 70's years of Soviet control - a real musical marvel, considering the setting - and because of tight border control, very few of these tunes ever made it out to the west! The track selection differs a fair bit from the kinds of full length Polish jazz albums that have been released to date - as many of the titles here are groovier, funkier, and more electric - and in case you're wondering, there's also very little crossover with the Compost Polish jazz set from a few years back."

Please note - this rip is missing Track 9. I will post Volune 1 tomorrow.
