All tracks recorded in Athens, Greece.
Featuring and unhinged music rarely heard outside of Northern Greece and Southern Albania, the performances

presented in this collection span the range of plaintive, ancient dirges to hypnotic, droning dance pieces. The

style, repertoire, and songs from this isolated region are unearthly in their euphonic appeal. Most of the sides

on this LP have not been issued since they were originally pressed on 78 rpm disc. A deep set of notes is

accompanied by comprehensive lyrical translations as well as original artwork by R. Crumb. Respectfully crafted

by Christopher King and Susan Archie for Angry Mom Records.

Original Artwork by Robert Crumb.
