"Dia Tafta" contains unreleased recordings made in 4 different periods between 1967 and 1978. LP Side A contains 3 long-tracks from1973. They're finest examples of the greek underground acid folk movement with dark melodies and political and sensitive as well lyrics (please note that by then, Greece had had a 6-years old dictatorship). Side B contains 3 tracks recorded in 1978 with the participation of Greek and Swedish musicians, as in those days, Savvopoulos was living in Stockholm. These are at the same acid-folk vein as "Episodeio" with some North European psych and folk influences. Finally, 5 -very short- tracks close side B. These are coming from a 1967 soundtrack for a movie called "Matomeni Gi" ("Bloodstained earth") moving towards the "Domatio" music direction. The extra 7" EP, that comes along this release, contains the music and songs of a theatre play by Jacques Prevert, entitled "Spectacle" (1971). Guitar, cello, flute and piano instruments, arranged by Savopoulos and mark the start of the "Episodeio" recordings. It includes 8-pages (LP-sized) booklet with notes, lyrics and photos. It comes in both Greek and English language. Yet, a 7" EP with 4-pages picture sleeve. All paperwork is printed on deluxe carton/papers. PVC protective outersleeve. 180gr. vinyl as usual. Limited to 200 black copies"
