music with Grzegorz Markowski as their lead vocalist. In 1981, Perfect recorded their debut album that sold almost one million copies in Poland alone.[Konrad Wojciechowski, "Wszystkie pilne sprawy" - Perfect's biography, ] It included their first hits, ''Nie płacz Ewka'' ("Don't Cry, Eve") and ''Chcemy być sobą'' ("We Want to be Ourselves"), released as a 7-inch single. Their second album, ''UNU'', released in late 1982, in a period when martial law was introduced in Poland. It sold less than half million copies (vinyl + CD reissue) and included another classic song: ''Autobiografia'' ("Autobiography"), dedicated to a Polish rock-and-roll generation that grew up under communist rule. In 1983, Perfect released their first live album that sold 200 000 copies. Subsequently, they disbanded, only occasionally appearing on stage – in 1987 (Poland), 1989 and in the early 1990s, when they toured in the United States twice. The original line-up without Holdys reunited in 1994 and recorded their fourth studio album ''Jestem'' ("I am") which included another hit ''Kołysanka dla nieznajomej'' ("A Lullaby for a Stranger"), and sold over 130 000 copies.
