Description: GEORGE ROMANOS 'Δυό Μικρά Γαλάζια Άλογα' ('Two Small Blue Horses') LP (Greece, Music Links Knowledge, Catalogue #MLK/Zodiac 3542) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited (limited edition of 500 copies only) year 2016 Music Links Knowledge label LP reissue edition of stupendously rare Greek Melodic Psychedelic Rock/Psych Folk masterpiece by George Romanos (originally released on the Greek Zodiac label in 1970.) Great melodic psych with tons of inventiveness, interesting arrangements, and some quite obvious Beatles-influence, spanning especially from Revolver through The White Album. Lots of fuzz, too. Really quite excellent and compelling to the ears from start to finish. Fantastic LP! (NOTE: ALL RECORDS ARE PACKED AND SHIPPED IN PROFESSIONAL, SUPERIOR QUALITY RECTANGULAR SHAPED, CORNER PROTECTING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD RECORD MAILERS WITH FILLER PADS. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!) (NOTE: BRAND NEW/FACTORY SEALED ITEM!) (NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION OF 500 COPIES ONLY!) 'If you like the thought of songs overrun by heavy fuzz guitars and immersed in studio effects, then this is an album for you! It’s a record (released by Zodiac in 1970) that bears comparison to the first three Erkin Koray albums, in part due to it’s Middle-Eastern psychedelic intensity; really great stuff—exotic melodies coupled with a full-force fuzz assault; a slight nod to the Byrds (‘Eight Miles High’ riff makes a dramatic appearance), but with baroque pop/psych tracks of a Left Banke type (‘Maria’ springs to mind) thrown in for added spice. Infused throughout with Greek-tinged raga fuzz guitar freakouts that float in and out of orchestrated psychy pop, "Two Small Blue Horses" is a gem of an album that should be in any serious European psych collection. To top it all, this is one of the rarest psychedelic records ever pressed, with original copies changing hands from time to time for more than $1,000. Great sounding reissue of a weird and wonderful record. 180g vinyl deluxe official reissue. 500 pcs limited.' "His first albums contained folk ballads outside the scope of this book. However, in the seventies he recorded a stunning album named Two Small Blue Horses. Barring a couple of sticky folk ballads, this is a novelty to the world of psychedelic folk. You get the feeling that ancient Greek folk ballads are overthrown by heavy fuzz guitars and mutilated by Revolver-styled studio effects. The American Kaleidoscope hinted at vaguely similar ides on "Egyptian Gardens," but were nothing near the turban psychedelia revolution of "I Giagia" (grannie)! On another track, the guitar player paraphrases the well-known "Eight Miles High" opening riff." - Dag Erik Asbjornsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind Tracks on this LP are as follows:A1 Δυό Μικρά Γαλάζια Άλογα (Two Small Blue Horses) (5:30)A2 Ο Βασιλιάς Της Καρδιάς (King Of The Heart) (3:25)A3 Δεκαπέντε Κλειδιά (The Fifteen Keys) (1:15)A4 Μαρία (Maria) (2:09)A5 Καραγκιόζη Μου Χαρτονάκι Μου (Karaghiozis) (4:10)B1 Η Γιαγιά (Grannie) (5:01)B2 Ο Φανταστικός Γιατρός (The Imaginary Doctor) (1:41)B3 Κοριτσάκι Μου (My Little Girl) (2:55)B4 Το Χάρτινο Βιολί (The Paper Violin) (3:10)B5 Ζωή Είναι Ένα Όνειρο (Life Is A Dream) (4:22) Shipping rates to the following locations at this present time (note: all shipping rates are subject to change.)

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! We are record collectors here, too, and we pledge to package your records (or any other item) in a way in which we would like to have records/other items packaged, sent to us and received by us as well. When packaging up records that are non-factory sealed items (as is standard for many import releases) or are open "used" items for shipment, we remove the LP and inner-sleeve from the album cover and place them on the outside of the cover to protect the cover from being subjected to any potential seam-splitting during transit. When packaging up factory sealed records for shipment, we leave the item sealed, intact, as is. HOWEVER. If a customer REQUESTS that we unseal a factory sealed record to send with the LP and inner sleeve on the outside of the cover (to protect the cover from any potential seam-splitting during transit) we will do so. Please be sure to make this request of unsealing your record for shipment if that is your packaging preference. When packaging up non-factory sealed items (or factory sealed items that have been unsealed at the buyer's request) that have custom company or other manner of printed inner-sleeves, we remove the record from those printed inner sleeves (returning the printed inner sleeves back into the album cover) and place them inside brand new, generic white paper inner sleeves, which are then placed on the outside of the album cover to protect both the album cover AND the original printed inner sleeves from being subjected to any potential seam splitting during transit. We do this for all new AND used items that are in our stock. All LPs, be they new or used, are sheathed inside of new, protective plastic outer sleeves (with the exceptions of space or weight limitations that may occur with packaging your items - such exceptions will take place when they allow for a lower cost of shipping charged for your total order.) We go the extra mile to protect and preserve your items, folks! With but a few exceptions (odd size combined orders or other package configurations and considerations...) All 12" records are sent to you packaged in quality 15" x 1" x 13" rectangular shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 10" records are sent to you packaged in quality 13" x 1" x 13" square shaped corrugated cardboard LP mailers. All 7" records are sent to you packaged in quality 8" x 1" x 8" square shaped corrugated cardboard 7" record mailers. All Compact Discs are sent to you packaged in quality 7" x 1" x 5" rectangular shaped cardboard CD mailers. All Cassettes are sent to you packaged in quality 5 1/2" x 1" x 3" rectangular shaped cardboard Cassette mailers (Note: Cassettes sent to international addresses will be packaged in a larger box of some appropriate size configuration to accommodate the size and application of mailing/customs labels sent to international addresses.) All Cassettes and CDs or records that come packaged in odd-sized or odd-custom packaging are sent to you in quality corrugated cardboard boxes of various unspecified dimensions, with various sorts of interior padding (styrofoam peanuts, bubble wrap, cardboard filler pads, etc.) to protect and preserve your items. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions about any items that we have in stock or anything else, please feel free to inquire with us at any time (we are at your service and will get back to you with answers to your questions as soon as possible.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS (be they first time customers or our many repeat customers) and WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
