The record
Twelve Greek songs, each titled in transliteration with an English gloss alongside -- 'Samiotissa = The Girl From Samos', 'Hasapiko = Butchers' Dance'. Chet Amsterdam is the only individual credited, as producer and director, so the ensemble's players go undocumented here. Prestige issued it as NE 45001 in 1962.
