Spero Spyros - Golden Songs of Greece [Prestige World]



Spero Spyros & His Modern Grecian Ensemble - Golden Songs of Greece - Near East Records (Prestige) - NE-45001 - Blue Trident Label, Mono

Recorded - [dates unknown?, straight reissue of Prestige International INT 13001]

Produced and Directed by Chet Amsterdam
Cover Design - Don Schlitten
Cover Photo - Cristos Gianakos

Released - May 12, 1962

This is the first of Spero Spyros' two Greek sides. Once again, documentation for this side/session is not available. I have a hunch that Spero Spyros doesn't actually exist and these are simply field recordings from Greece/Turkey of traditional musicians assembled by the producer Chet Amsterdam.

Get it
