Summary/Abstract: Jurik, Ľuboš and Jozef Šuhajda. Slovensky bigbit. Bratislava: Slovary, 2008, 390 pp. The book under review, like the television series of the same name, is conceived mainly as an anthology of recollections of participants in the Slovak rock music scene during its dramatic development in the 1960s. An important and successful feature of this superbly designed publication is its lush documentary illustrations, which form an exceptionally comprehensive and detailed part of the book. According to the reviewer, the book demonstrates, among other things, that Slovak rock, unlike MOR and jazz, was more dynamic in the 1960s than its Czech counterpart.
