Of late the Versatones have exhibited a new spirit and a distinct instrument identity on their recordings Their most recent effort, "Everybody Polka," on Bel-Aire, perfectly illustrates the attention to details and commitment to quality of these musicians. This entire package doesn't compare to some of those outstanding Versatone albums of the past like "Polka Hits", "Polka Hall of Fame", "Wide World of Polkas" and "Polka Celebration," it surpasses them.

As is the rule, Eddie Blazonczyk has created another "opening" number for not only this recording but also his stage perform ances. "Everybody Polka," the lead cut is exactly that, a lead cut. It sets the pace whether from the turntable or the stage. With the objective of not individually dissecting each tune we can safely tell you, putting the stylus down just about anywhere on the album will produce a bounty.

The vocals, the horns, the tempo, the boxes, have all been assembled to yield a Versatones' gem. With the objective of individually mentioning a few tunes, you will find yourself in love with, the melody of "Hej Karolciu," the lyrics of "Did You Have To Bring That Up," and the instrumen tal magic of "Brighton Park." "I'm Happy Today" polka treats you to the vocals of Eddie Jr. and Eddie Sr. On "Polka Lounges in Chicago" the staccato action of accordion, concertina and vocals will have you wanting to dance. On "At The Mill" oberek you'll find it impossible to stay seated.

The truth is, this recording does what it is meant to do, make "Everybody Polka."
