Andreas Thomopoulos-Born Out of the Tears of the Sun,LP,1971,UK/Greece
Great underground acid folk LP by Greek singer Andreas Thomopoulos,that lived in UK(possibly because of the Junta in Greece).Released in the legendary folk label Mushroom this is his 2nd LP,being the first the one called "Songs of the street" on the same label(i think it was 1st label's release). The melancholic Andreas voice accompanied with a vast of acoustic mostly organs creates a dreamy atmosphere with lyrics both in Greek and English.This record seems to have been vanished friom the face of earth!get it here

I used to have Songs of the Street but it was pinched with other stuff many years ago The first track on this reminds me of that record that has stayed in my memory Nice to hear him again There is a lovely Youtube of him as he is now called Na m'agapas with Giannis Koutras and he doing a very soulful impromptu duet He is a special very authentic person
