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 Dothan writing the lyrics, then singing them down the telephone to Avramov, 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.
