Nice little book we picked up in Greece years ago 'Road to Rembetika' - music of a Greek sub-culture - songs of love, sorrow and hashish By Gail Holst - analysis, songs (with translations), great photos, unfortunately no music (Pub. Denise Harvey and Co, Athens 1975)
Also well worth looking out for - 'Songs of Smyrna' Petros Tabouris (FM records Publication 2008) bi- lingual book of notes plus 4 CDs (bought at Corfu Airport last year.
