Back in 1973, that was the name of a quartet of veteran 60's musicians, born in a suburb of Athens, Greece. That same year, THARSIN HRI was one of the groups that participated in the -legendary and very collectable, nowadays- compilation "Pop Festival '73", released by greek Columbia.
A year later, the group entered the studio and recorded an album-worth material, for a planned album. This never materialized and now it takes its first official release, without any additions or corrections. It contains 10 self-penned tracks and somebody could classify it in the electric folk-rock genre. At the same time hard-rock tinges and soft-psycho elements are still there while some great melodies makes a second listening to be a necessity. All lyrics are in greek. This release has the title "1974!" (the year of the recordings) and comes in a gatefold sleeve, with photos, story and lyrics. Also, an exact reprint, of a 1974 poster and a high-quality A4 sheet with bio and info in english, have been attached.
