Hi. Here you can find some rare and out of print rock music from the Greek and foreign music scene. I try to post albums or singles that are difficult to be found in their original releases or in possible re-issues. Please inform me about current re-issues of those albums and I will remove the link immediately. For our foreign friends the posts are in greek but I intend to re-write all my posts in english. So please be patient because it takes time. Of course your comments are always welcome and useful.
THANKS.

Mecano - The Half Inch Universe (1996)

Mecano was maybe the best post punk group that came from Netherlands and during their first period (1978-1985) made some great albums, singles and EPs full of "remarkable arrangements, unusual guitar harmonies, with brashness and provocation, converting into an astonishing electric blend" as you can read in their official website. Take a look at their discography and biography as well as news about their reunion.
In 1996 the great greek label Lazy Dog compiled almost the whole of their discography in this double CD compilation and later, in 2002, Mutantjazz label re-released this compilation with different cover. Both of them are very hard to find nowdays
so now you can have the greek edition in two parts.

Expensive Perfumes In Small Bottles #3 (from Australia)










Here we have four 7" singles from the amazing australian underground scene of 80s.
1. New Christs - Waiting World (1981).
The very first single by the New Christs originally released on Green label. Although the "Divine Rites" compilation compiled their first singles and EPs this single is not there because it is the only one that was not released through Citadel label.
2. Fishermen - Can't You Stop (1986).
This is the band that Jeremy Oxley created after the demise of The Sunnyboys in 1985. That band released only this fantastic single on the Waterfront label before their disbandment.
3. Mick Blood & the Pushtwangers - 3rd Reason (1987).
Οccasional collaboration between the singer of the Lime Spiders and the swedish group Pushtwangers. The result was this powerfull single on Rattlesnake label.
4. Dubrovniks - Fireball Of Love (1988).
This is the Dubrovniks first single on Citadel label. A side can be found also on "Positively Elizabeth Street" compilation but B side is available only here.

Villa 21 - Men Of Clay (1985)

After almost one month of hiatus here we are again. In the past two very good greek blogs (16-forever and hidden diaries) offered the most Villa 21 releases. Here with "Men Of Clay" you can complete their discography.
This is their second album and their last on the legendary Creep label. It also marks the end of their dark wave period as they continued with most garage sounds.
On greekpostpunk blog you can find some info about them as well info about groups from the greek post punk and dark wave scene. Check also their site on anexartisi.gr but only for those who can read greek.
