LONTANO DAGLI OCCHI/ QUANDO L'AMORE DIVENTA POESIA (7")

This single holds another very beautiful psych-flavored late 1960's ballad "Lontano Dagli Occhi", which is as good tune as the wonderful songs "It's Five O'clock" and "End of The World" in my opinion. I'm not sure how well this single is documented in the various compilations featuring their pre-"666" material; Though their material from that time is unbalanced, some of the good moody songs there are much better than what they ever managed to create on their more cherished cult double-album. If you like passionate music, both Vangelis and Demis Roussos were able to blow the horns of pathos successfully. Also a nice item to a serious collection of late 1960's European music.
