[ listen ]

I was on my way to grab some breakfast after hitting the gym this past Saturday morning, but some brilliant entrepreneur stuck a record store smack dab in the middle of the block between Ballard Health Club and Vera's Restaurant. I ended up lingering there much longer than planned, of course, and was mighty hungry indeed when I came upon this 1973 LP from Hungarian superstar Koncz Zsuzsa. (There are also several neat-looking Hungarian-language comedy LPs in the bins, which will likely be a tough sell for most Seattle shoppers.) You can read all about Ms. Zsuzsa in English here, and if you can read Hungarian and would like to know more, you can go here—though I suppose anyone who reads Hungarian probably already knows more about Koncz Zsuzsa than Wikipedia could ever tell.
