After He6 broke up (famed for their hits and remembered today for their psychedelic experiments), their lead singer and rhythm guitarist Choi Hyun formed another group by the name of 검은나비 (Black Butterfly). Although the band only made 3 albums before Choi Hyun left, they still left their mark in Korean rock history with their fancy instrumentation and catchy adaptations of western hits.
This record not only includes Choi Hyun's biggest hit at the time, 당신은 몰라 (You Don't Know), originally performed by He6, but also lots of new catchy songs. My personal favourite is the track 그녀 (Her) which is a cover of War's Me And Baby Brother.
There are two main versions of this record. One pressed by Jigu Records and a second pressed by Universal Records. Jigu Records pressings came first and thus are slightly more harder to find. I originally purchased the Universal pressing, however I had to return it as the record was warped and would skip. I was pretty disappointed since the record sleeve looked to be in near mint condition, however I soon found a rarer Jigu Records pressing for the same price. And although the sleeve doesn't look too good, the record still sounds great. If you like collecting different pressings of the same album, this might be a neat treat as most rips of this records are on Universal. (Not that there are any auditory differences between the two)
