FOROS TIMHS STON GREKO German CD front coverIn 1995, a month before the release of Voices, Vangelis released an original composition in Greece as part of a charity effort for Greece to raise money to obtain paintings of native son, El Greco. And not only a CD, but something never before seen by Vangelis collector. The CD was housed in a beautiful cloth presentation box with a large booklet and various other sheets of information. It cost approximately $120 to get this back in 1995. The scan of the box I'm providing is horrible. It is one of those items that just does not scan well. You need to own one to fully appreciate it. If I did not have a guardian angel living in Athens (Thanks Noel, I miss you!), I would not have been so fortunate to have been one of the first Vangelis collectors to get a copy. What a treasure. I remember opening the box for the first time, feeling the cloth texture, and seeing a huge book inside of artwork by El Greco, along with a letter from Vangelis inside. And then the CD itself, signed by Vangelis and numbered, limited to 3000 copies. 7 songs of pure gold. For collectors, it is necessary to find this CD, becuase it contains full edits of some of the tracks that are edited in the 1998 commercial release.
