As a collector, you have to respect a guy who has an album that has sold for nearly $1000. George Romanos is such an artist. He released a psychedelic classic in the early 70s, known as the "Little Blue Horses" album, that seems to drive psych collectors crazy. The album done with Vangelis and the Papathanassiou Set (Aphrodite's Child) happened a few years prior, in 1968, and is not a psych album, titled In Concert and In the Studio. Vangelis and band completed four songs on this album, and an additional song, "TO ROLOI (The Clock)" that was released as a single. Thanks to George, Vangelis released his first known "solo" single, strickly instrumental versions of two Romanos songs from this studio work. This single is known as "Our Love Sleeps On the Water"/"The Clock". This vinyl is quite rare, and luckily for casual collectors, Zodiac released the album on CD. [Thanks to Kostas Matsoukas for the scan of the TO ROLOI 7" HMV test pressing! Thanks to Makis Bekiaris for the scan of the H  MPALANTA THS  MARINA 7" test pressing!]
