Various – Rembetika – Have They Got Hashish In Hell? – 4CD

The JSP Rembetika series of box sets has finally brought this amazing music to a wider audience using the highest standards of remastering and presentation usually associated with blues and jazz reissues.

Remastered by Ted Kendall and compiled and annotated by Charles Howard utilising his own amazing collection of 78s that he quite literally has obtained by painstaking local research in Greece. The quality and awesome 'bluesiness' of this set of tracks remains undiminished and of course the material is beyond rare. The series has developed a loyal band of purchasers who are buying all these and associated Balkan JSP sets.
