Whenever an item like this surfaces, it serves as a reminder that Vangelis collectors who think they have discovered all of his works are simply wrong. I tend to think that at times, so I was pleasantly surprised when this surfaced recently, even though the record was released in 1974. Vangelis plays keyboards on this single by Little Sammy Gaha. Side A is a slow piece, with lyrics in both French and English. Side B is a funky jam, complete with a horn section. How does Vangelis end up working on these little projects? The item is rare, and won't be had cheaply unless you can find somebody selling it that does not realize the Vangelis connection. Otherwise, get out at least $50 (probably more). [Thanks to Luiz Fernando de Almeida for the scan of the Brazilian 7" single and to Sufian Irhimeh for the scan of the Italian 7"!]
