Comes with booklet You are bidding on a brand new copy of the ‘A Jail's a Fine School’ Lp from the seminal rembeti - ‘A. KOSTIS!’ This guy was considered one of the best Greek Rembetiko players! Now own your very own copy that you can cherish and love and admire and be considered the envy of all of your friends! First ever vinyl collection of the legendary 'Kostis,' the most enigmatic of all Greek rebetika artists of the early 1930s. Truly unique guitar duets and black-humor prose chronicling the hash dens, prison culture and pickpockets of old Athens. Virtuosic fingerpicking of Near-Eastern modes at the dawn of rebetika, when the bouzouki was yet to become supreme. Recorded under a pseudonym for export to the Greeks living in America, it stands as an enduring mystery and the high standard for a once subversive art form. Includes Greek and English lyrics, extensive liner notes by Tony Klein and many previously unpublished photographs. Co-released by Olvido Records For cover, see picture below.
