The Matadors, one of the greatest Czech beat groups of the 1960s, only released one LP, their eponymous 1968 debut. Like many Prague bands of their era, they had a fluid membership, though the classic lineup is regarded as Radim Hladík on guitar, Viktor Sodoma on vocals, Jan “Farmer” Obermayer on electric organ, Otto Bezloja on bass and Tony Black (Miroslav Schwarz) on drums.
