Vangelis – El Greco (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The LP pressing (in my copy, at any rate) is very poor. It looks dirty but in fact the marks are actually in the vinyl material itself rendering it virtually unlistenable and purely for collecting purposes. Otherwise, this is a sumptuous edition, beautifully presented, and the book, as expected of Taschen, is beautifully illustrated.

This box set (Discogs Code r15053736) is an unofficial item. When this hit the market a while ago (at a very high price as I recall), I got in touch with Audio Visual Entertainment, the Greek company who released the DVD and I was advised that it was not legitimate and that they would have to authorize such a thing as this. Also, this date of "2015" is incorrect, as this supposed "promo" became available shortly after the home video release of "El Greco". While I do find it interesting that somebody went through the work to create this, it simply is not legitimate and so any potential buyer should consider this if buying the item.

Is there any distinguishing difference between the 2014 box set and the 2016 box set?

This record is very good and has completely different set of songs than on the El Greco album. Much better than the other. This is the soundtrack for the film. 4/5
