Re-Issue Notes:
This album's life as a CD in the mid-1990s was exceptionally brief (in the shops in June, off sale by mid-July). It is out of print worldwide, except for Greece (where Theodorakis is a major figure in musical life). You can buy it online from Studio52.
Three of the Four Epitafios recorded here (3, 4 and 5) appear on Recollections (1979) and were also re-recorded for The Guitarist album in 2003.
John Williams has been involved in two further versions of To Yelasto Pedi, as an instrumental piece: arranged by Stanley Myers with strings on Changes, recorded shortly after this album was published, and arranged by John Williams several years later with Sky.
