“Będziesz panią w moim piekle” (1970) – Romuald i Roman
 * Written by Andrzej Kuryło and Roman Runowicz * LP: Z Archiwum Polskiego Radia, Vol. 5 (2007)

In the late ’60s, Polish rock pioneers Romuald Piasecki and Roman Runowicza formed a band named after themselves and got some quick traction. Someone in the paisley underground ’80s ought to have covered this folk-rock brooder, the title of which translates to “You Should Be in My Hell.” Strangely, only two facts testify of this song’s very existence: 1) Its appearance in several fall 1970 issues of Billboard‘s “Hits of the World” charts as a Polish Top 5 single, and 2) A YouTube video of the song (linked below). Was it ever actually released as a single? It appears on the recent compilation of radio recordings pictured here, but shows up nowhere in any online discographies. So maybe it charted in Poland only on the basis of airplay. A few years after this, the group would reorganize itself as the legendary band Nurt, who would also record a version of this song.
