Jon & Vangelis - The Friends of Mr. Cairo / video

[yukkuriyakumo]

I checked out my local record store a few days ago, they had some fun stuff. Even some prog, multiple Jethro Tull records and some Frank Zappa.

Then I managed to find something Yes-related, two Jon and Vangelis records. I went back today to pick up The Friends of Mr Cairo.

I also bought a Paul Simon record I really like, I'll share it in another post.

The disc ended up in a Dire Straits sleeve...

Here's what the actual sleeve should look like

I'm really happy I found it, such a great collaboration. Beautiful composition and a beautiful voice. Have you guys seen the clip of Jon talking about how he met Vangelis? I'll reblog it after this lol

Jon Anderson trying to imitate Vangelis is the best thing you'll see today

We live in a quantum universe replete with infinite possibilities, and this just happens to be one of those timelines where I post this song on tumblr.

Jon & Vangelis - The Friends Of Mr. Cairo

One of those early 80s songs that is simultaneously awesome and dumb as hell.
