ギリシャのポピュラー音楽の源流となった２０世紀前半のレンベーティカ～そのＳＰ音源コレクション決定盤かつ廉価盤４ＣＤボックス、再入荷しています。クロガネーゼさんのブログで取り上げられ、一部で話題を呼んでいたコレクションですが、“ギリシャのブルース”とも呼ばれる窮民街の哀歌～西アジアからの移民の歌、娼婦の歌、ハシシの歌、ギャングの歌…レンベーティカを、英国の北米戦前ブルース専門レーベルＪＳＰが編集した労作です。トルコからの強制送還を経たスミルナ派、港町の悪所で歌ったピレウス派というレンベーティカの２流派をＣＤ１枚ごとにコンパイルし、ブルース復刻で磨いたマスタリング技術も発揮、従来のギリシャ盤復刻ＣＤよりもイイ音で聴けるところも、嬉しいところ。
