RECENT RELEASES (click cover in this column to be taken to a retailer selling this title)


Montserrat Caballe - Romance: A new collection for 2008 from the opera legend. She has worked with Vangelis and on this compilation, she includes the Vangelis track "Like A Dream". Released on the RCA Red Seal label in Germany 88697276572.


Irene Papas/Vangelis-Odes and Rapsodies: While there are many reports of Vangelis remastering his back catalog, most collectors were surprised and happy to see these two titles released in Greece.  After having an initial release only in Greece, these two titles have started seeing release in other territories. Highly recommended. By Universal Greece on Polydor (Odes: 06025 1720633 5) (Rapsodies: 06025 1720630 4)


Chrisma-Chinese Restaurant and Hibernation: Two CD reissues from Italy of the great punk/new wave classics with (I believe) Vangelis noodling on his CS-80. From Universal on Polydor (Chinese Restaurant: 1748796) (Hibernation: 1748797)
