Originally released in 1980 on
EMI France, the OGI LP (OH-JEE-EYE) is the work of Hungarian-born Peter Ogi
(pronounced as “ohgee”). Peter Ogi obtained formal education in music
composition at the BudapestMusicAcademy and quickly thereafter formed the very early
Hungarian punk outfit, the Spions. Though never documented on tape, the Spions
were considered very important in the Hungarian music scene. In the late 1970s,
Peter began traveling back and forth between Paris and London where he worked together with legendary producer of
the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren. Their collaboration was integral to the
creation of the OGI LP. It was recorded in Autumn 1980 at Pathé Marconi
Studios, Boulogne. The album was composed by Peter Ogi with lyrics
written by Malcolm McLaren on over half of the tracks. LP
