It is a compilation LP that Costas from the Chaos Generation
…Not 2 without 3 participated with two tracks: I keep and Crocodiles. It was a dark wave band with a typical line up, bass-drums-guitar-vocals. I keep had a great chorus line on vocals and strangely enough for that era, there is a guitar solo which is very melodic and interesting.
On Crocodiles the rhythm section was influenced by the Cure of the early days (this was 1985 after all) but the singer was singing in a more personal style.
For sure that song would be a great dance floor hit in some gothic clubs in the present time. 2 without 3 never released a full album.
….Venericna Bolest never released an album either.
This was an Athenian post punk band with Greek lyrics.
George Drakopoulos was on the keyboards (former member of the bands Horis Peridereo, Moist Device, he would join later the band Chaos Generation / Genia tou Haous).
The rest band members were guitar player Andreas Takis, singer/bassist Giorgos Kanavakis and drummer Vangelis Pipinis.
Their sound was close to Wasted Youths or the early Modern English.
They never released a full length album or any 7? single.
….X-Mandarina Duck was Tom Bouzaniss three piece band.
Tom was an ex member of Parthenogenesis and joined for a while the punk rock band Stress.
In 1984 he founded the X-Mandarina Duck with Zacharias Zack Antvark Vrelianakis on the bass and drummer Chris Mine.
Their sound was close the English punk rock scene of the late 70s.
They released the 7? single Non Stop Sensations in 1986 and split.
Tom Bouzanis joined later the English bands Passengers and Dynamite Inc.
In 2005 he released the CD album 13een Black (available here). This album had little to do with the old X-Mandarina Duck sound.
…Libido Blume was the post-punk/new wave band that Aki Bua Bogiatzis formed in 1984 when Captain Nefos disbanded.
The band released two albums Colours Melting in 1986 and Liquid Situation in 1987.
They also released a 5 track mini album in 1986, titled Brilliant names and dames.
The line up of the band was Aki Bua Bogiatzis bass/vocals, Dimitris Stergiou keyboards/vocals, Giannis Drenogiannis-guitar
(Stelios Habibis would soon take his place) Dimitris Bourousas-Drums.
Later Tasos Katsaris-sax/keyboards and Makis Vretos-drums joined the band replacing Stergiou and Bourousas respectively.
The track In My Room appears also on Colours Melting on a different (and better) version.

The compilation Outsiders was released by the indie record label Dikaioma Diavasis.
Later, this record label would become Di-Di music and Big Star Promotions.
Big Star Promotions is nowdays the top Greek rock promoter, organizing many festivals every year in Greece with Rockwave Festival on top of them all, which is taking place in Greece every summer.
Rockwave Festival (it was Rock of Gods till the year 2000) hosted bands such as the Black Sabbath, Offspring, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Slipknot and many others
Εννοείται πως το Outsiders είναι δισκάρα-κληροδότημα στην ιστορία του ελληνικού ανεξάρτητου ροκ του 80.
Είναι γεγονός πως όλοι ακουγονται πιο “σκοτεινοί” σε αυτή τη συλλογη, και ιδιαίτερα οι Anti Troppau Council με την κομματάρα “Remissed” που δεν υπάρχει σε άλλο άλμπουμ. Επίσης ένα συγκρότημα που θα μπορούσε να είναι από τα cult σήμερα είναι οι Not 2 Without 3… απίστευτοι .
εξαιρετική συλλογή, σπανιότατη
Συμφωνώ με το “σκοτεινό” αλλά οι νεώτεροι μπορούν να φανταστούν ότι βρισκόμαστε στο 1985 και οι Cure είναι ίσως η σπουδαιότερη επιρροή
Φοβερή συλλογή και must have.
