Poll
Poll (+comic Book)
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 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 a kind of "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 magnum opus 'Aperanta Chorafia' and some months later, Stavros Logaridis presented 'Akritas.' Two of the best Greek rock albums ever. These Poll official reissues are from the master tapes and have the same covers as the original ones. Includes original 12-page full-coloured comic book, gatefold cover, 180gr vinyl.
