Sphinx ( Alec R. Costandinos) Simon Peter 1977 DISCO
In april 1977 under the name Sphinx, Alec R. Costandinos and Don Ray made a album with two sidelong tunes, Judas Iscariot and Simon Peter, telling the story of the betrayal of Christ. Judas features some monklike chanting, and a pretty simple ascending and descending theme, but as usual it goes through a bewildering series of tranformations, including what sounds like a bouzouki duel, before climbing to a rousing finale.

Simon Peter explores similar territory; about seven minutes in, it breaks into the most furious, kickass disco you re ever going to DISCOGS Enjoy this real
