Description

ANDREAS THOMOPOULOS: "SONGS OF THE STREET"
PRESSED IN VERY SMALL NUMBERS, AND VERY SOUGHT-AFTER BY COLLECTORS, "SONGS OF THE STREET" IS A RECORD PACKED WITH SENSATIONAL PSYCH SOUNDS AND REMAINS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL ACID FOLK ALBUMS. ANDREAS WAS ONCE A MEMBER OF THE LEGENDARY 'SECOND HAND'. HE IS NOW A NOTED FILM DIRECTOR. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK FIRST-PRESSING FROM 1970, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. It is on MUSHROOM RECORDS 100 MR 1 and the tracks are as follows: SIDE 1: 1: GAME IN THE RUINS 2: DICTATOR'S END 3: MY SISTER 4: I BELIEVE WE'VE MET BEFORE 5: THE NEW SPRING SIDE 2: 1: REPORT TO THE SAD LADY 2: LITTLE CHILD 3: THEY SAY YOU'RE A BUM 4: ALONG WITH TRUTH 5: NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK

Record is excellent, Sleeve is excellent- (only pricesticker damage)

Here's a review from Asbjørnsen's Scented Gardens Of The Mind book:
Thomopoulos, Andreas
A. Thomopoulos - guitars, vocals, piano, harmonica, bouzouki

With:
Jennifer Roberts - piano (1)
Romey Young - jew's harp (1)
Chris Jones - percussion (1)
Malcolm Budd - sitar (2)
George Hart - bass, violin (2)
Ken Elliott - organ (2)
Kieran O'Connor - drums (2)

His albums are so rare that only a few hard-core collectors know them. Both contain an exotic Eastern-tinged folk psychedelia and Bom Out Of The Tears Of The Sun had notable contributions from three members of Secondhand and Chillum: Hart, Elliott and O'Connor. Thomopoulos later became a film director.
