Editorial Review: Album Description: 2002 compilation for Greece's premier prog-rockers. This was the starting point for Vangelis & Demis Roussos. 15 tracks including rare singles, tracks from the albums, 'End Of The World' (1968), 'Rain & Tears' (1968) & '666' (1970) plus the previously unreleased epic instrumental, 'Chackachak' which clocks in at 16 minutes.
