The Sounds

The Sounds released a number of 45s and at least one album, and backed a singer named Tammy on some of her recordings. Info on them in English is hard to come by.

“To Maohma (Un Bimbo sul Leone)” has a nice horn arrangement and Georgie Fame-influenced vocals. It was written by G. Santercole, L. Beretta, Del Preto, G. Sefanou.

Two other songs that are supposed to be good are “Parakseno takseidi” (Strange Trip), and a cover of the Count Five’s “They’re Gonna Get You”.

Cinquetti

The Athens group Cinquetti were together from 1967 until about 1969. Here are two excellent versions of ’60s hits. On one side is a fuzz version of Jackie Lomax’s “You Better Get Going”, sung in greek as “Panta Konta Mou” (Always Near To Me).

The A-side is actually a cover of Brazilian Roberto Carlos’ “Namoradinha de um amico meu” (rendered in italian on the label “L’innamorada de un amico mio”). The original had been a big hit in Greece, and this version is just as good.

I adjusted an autotranslation of the following list of band members from a good list of 60’s bands in Greece.

Lakis Jiordaneli: Organ, vocals
Dimitri Tambossis: Lead guitar, vocals (-1967, + Dimitris Katakoyzinos -1969, + Manolis Soyvatzis)
Antoni Trjantafyllou: Bass (-1967, + Andreas Metallidis) (a comment below mentions Spyros Metaxas of the Stormies on bass)
Kostas Papaioanou: Drums (-1969, + Antonis Lo’xas)
Vasilis Tataroglouu: Vocals (-1969, +Ha’ris Papada’tos)
