Ricardo Credi ‎– Siga - Siga / Non Et Non 1967 (Philips)

Label : Philips

Value :  Check

During the sixties a French singer with the name of Ricardo Credi traveled to Greece. Apparently he came from the south of France, while in Athens he pursued a career in the Greek night-clubs of the era. In 1967 he released a single on the Philips label "Siga siga", backed with "Non et non". The last track is considered part of the Greek 'Garage' movement from the sixties, as it was released on the (bootleg) garage LP "Operation Shake the Earth" (volume 1). 
The special thing about these songs is that they were recorded together with a 'Vangelis Papathanassiou and his Orchestra'. The booklet of the "ELLHNIKH ROCK SKHNH"No. 3 CD explains:  

"...1967.... that year George Petridis goes from the 'Blue Birds' to the 'We Five' replacing Demis Roussos who left the group and together with Vangelis Papathanassiou, Loukas Sideras and Argyris Koulouris create the scheme 'Papathanassiou Set' that evolves to 'Aphrodite's Child'. Papathanassiou - Sideras - Roussos - Koulouris play as session musicians in many recordings and also in the Hilton. They also play among others in the recording of 'Siga-Siga' of Ricardo Credi. That's why this song is in this collection; a historic recording with 'Aphrodite's Child' before they took this title and long before their European success....." by vangelismovements.com
