I'm back again after a bit of a break to present more Prestige label obscurities from my collection. Here's in fact the final release in the Prestige International 13000 series - The Artistry of Greece!  Generally entertaining and spirited traditional Greek music not too dissimilar from the recordings of Prestige's Near East Records subsidiary.

  2. Thank you for this rarity. I'm always surprised to see these kind of recordings on the Prestige Label in that period. Who was buying these records in the sixties ?
