'ORIENTAL SHAKE, FARFISA MADNESS & ROCKING BOUZOUKIS FROM THE GREEK LAIKA MOVEMENT (1961-1973)' - 2LP set including 16-page booklet. Monster grooves, driven by a perfect symbiosis of fiery oriental rhythms and the deep, relaxed heartbeat of the bass line, with virtuosic, intoxicating solos on bouzoukis, Farfisa organs, clarinets and violins.
