The Greek National Tourist Organisation:
The Land Of The Orange Tree Blossoms
Solfege Lesson
I'm not entirely sure of the raison d'être for this record. It just says "Greece" on the front and the back says "With the compliments of the National Tourist Organisation" and "NOT FOR SALE". So maybe it was made to be given away freely to promote tourism to Greece? Anyroad, check out the tough counterpoint between the verses on "Orange Tree Blossoms". Solfege, in case anyone doesn't know, is a word for the Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do system, and you can hear them singing these syllables on the intriguing toe-tapper "Solfege Lesson". Also phased rhythm guitar, chimes, and plenty of vibraslap.
