Ima Ani Lo Rotze Lehigamel (Hebrew: אמא אני לא רוצה להיגמל, Mother I Do Not Want to Be Weaned) is a 1981 album by Israeli rock band HaClique.[1][2]
The album's songs were written first by Dani Dothan [he] writing the lyrics, then singing them down the telephone to Eli Avramov [he], who would write and play the chords back to Dothan. All the songs took a week to write, and "Sheled Umlal" was the first song written for the album. [3]Ima Ani Lo Rotze Lehigamel was recorded after more than a year of live shows, and took about 100 hours of studio time to finish. "Tzaleket Ktana" had previously been recorded in 1980 at Kolinor, and "Sheat Haze'evim" in January 1981[4] at Triton, both with Uzi Binder on lead guitar, then released as 12-inch DJ-only promo singles, though due to Binder's sacking for being too virtuoso they were re-recorded for the album. On the cover painting there is a visual gap between Goldberg and Efrat; this was originally where Binder had been painted when he was still a member of the band. [5] "Makom Belibech", which backed the original version of "Tzaleket Ktana", was not re-recorded for inclusion on the album, though both were included in the 2002 box-set Hakufsa.
