To the unknown man

a look at the music of Vangelis Papathanassiou

Introduction
There are a few singles by Vangelis which are worth while finding. This is one of them. Whichever print you can find, the single contains the original track of ‘To the unknown man’ as available in the 1977 ‘Spiral’ album, and as a bonus, the B-side of the single has a different version of the same track, named ‘To the unknown man part 2’.

This second version of the ‘To the unknown man’ track is a beautiful variation on the original theme.

Tracklist
Side1: To the unknown man
Side2: To the unknown man (part 2)

Credits
Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Vangelis.

Discography
1977 RCA PB5064 UK/France/West-Germany/Holland/Spain
1977 RCA PB13402 USA/Canada
1977 RCA 104095 Australia

Note that several prints of different countries have different pictures sleeves. Curiously, the German single comes in two different sleeves! There is also an American promo print of the single, but instead of the variation it just contains the original track as heard on the album, but split in two parts over both sides.

Most copies copies of this single are relatively easy to find. Any of the West-German sleeved prints are harder to find.
