Artist:	MORKA
Title:	There Was A Time...
Label:	ANAZITISI (GREECE)
Format:	LP
Price:	$36.00
Catalog #:	ARLP 70-12

"Probably the best psychedelic band that ever came from Greece. With Greek members coming from Greece, USA and Canada and with a British female vocalist, There Was A Time... is here to blow your mind away!!! The band begun in 1970 as Stone Deep and is responsible for the production of the rarest Greek private single nowadays. Followed by many line-up changes, Morka presented two more singles for Greek Polydor in 1972 and the next year they made their 7-track magnus-opus demo. This album contains all their 3 singles plus the 7 tracks released back in 1973. All the elements that make an album to be a treasure for the psychoheads are present. Excellent male-female vocals (all but one sung in English), lots of harmonies and melodies, tons of fuzzy guitars and bombastic drum breaks. The late '60s American psychedelic and the early '70s British acid-folk influences are obvious in this album but Morka play their own game. Do not let it pass by!!! Comes in a gatefold (unipak) cover, with a front-cover painting by Pamela Leake -- Morka's female singer -- with lots of photos and memorabilia, band bio, insert with the lyrics and a big-sized (40x60cm) poster -also Leake's painting. The album also contains a totally unreleased song by a 1986 Morka reincarnation."

Artist:	POLL
Title:	Poll
Label:	ANAZITISI (GREECE)
Format:	LP + 7"
Price:	$51.00
Catalog #:	ARLP 70-14-7

Exact reissue of the second Poll album, originally issued in 1972. "Original 12-page full-colored comic book, gatefold cover plus extra 4-pages insert with photos/memorabilia/lyrics (in Greek and English) attached inside the comic book, high quality card, 180 gram vinyl. POLL formed in 1971. Moving from hippie-rock to electric folk-rock they managed to get themselves in the top ranks of the Greek '70s rock pantheon. Both of their albums (originally released on Polydor) contain well-structured songs with lyrics of high sensitivity. Acoustic, electric and 12-string guitars, organ, piano, percussion and drums along with a lot of harmonies from the male and female vocalists. But also the covers of their albums were amazing and inventive!!!! The first one "Anthrope" (1971) had a flaxen bag -- like the peasants' knapsacks -- as a cover and included a poster and a lyrics booklet. The second, same-titled one (1972), was recorded at the same time that the band was ready to split. Inside its gatefold cover there was a 12-page comic book where the 4 members of the group were "superheroes." The story of the comic (made by Kostas Tournas himself) was describing the short life of the POLL, from their birth till their final recordings. Just after the split, Kostas Tournas released his magnus opus "Aperanta Chorafia" and some months later, Stavros Logaridis presented "Akritas." Two of the best Greek rock albums ever. Both of them have already been re-released by ANAZITISI Records. These POLL official reissues, are from the master tapes and have the same covers as the original ones. Anthrope will contain the first POLL single (1971) while S/T will contain their second one (1972). As usual, 180 gram vinyl."

Artist:	HOMESTEAD & WOLFE
Title:	Our Times
Label:	ANAZITISI (GREECE)
Format:	LP
Price:	$36.00
Catalog #:	ARLP 70-16

"We're proud to announce the first-ever vinyl reissue of Homestead & Wolfe's lone and excellent album. One of the most unknown artifacts that ever came from the American psych-folk land. Originally released in 1975 by TOPO records. This is an official reissue, fully licensed by Ernie Bringas (H&W founder) and Anopheles Records. It has an exact reproduction of the original cover, label, 4-page insert and poster as well as extra triptych insert with bio and photos. Two extra tracks are also included." "Despite being recorded at Gold Star in L.A. and featuring heavy session names such as Hal Blaine and Al Casey, this irresistible femme-vox melodic folk rock/psych delight has remained mysteriously unknown for 30 years. You'll be hard-pressed to find faults with its mix of various late 1960s California styles, ranging from lyte Neighb'rhood Child'n top 40 psych over Carolyn Hester Coalition/Yankee Dollar folk moves into all-out West Coast acid rock a la Ill Wind." --Acid Archives
