The Sputniks

Band,
Rock, Latin and Pop
A.k.a. Big Beat Quintet

Czech instrumental rhythm & blues group, active from late 1962 until summer 1963. Successor to Sputnici, predecessor to (among others) Olympic (2). This name was misleadingly used on export releases for PZO Artia while the original Sputnici group was still performing (but not recording) in parallel with different line-up.
