Race to the end - Demis Roussos

I don't think I've ever seen this single before - and I have visited loads of shops, record fairs and markets through the years. If I'd seen it before I would certainly have picked it up, because it's very interesting to find out what Demis Roussos would make of 'Chariots of fire', the classic melody by Vangelis.

For that's what this is: a vocal version of 'Chariots of fire', with lyrics provided by Jon Anderson (who recorded loads of tracks together with Vangelis himself). And although this version isn't quite as beautiful as the original instrumental version, it's interesting nonetheless.

My collection: 7" single no. 6944
Found: Vinyl & zo, Rijswijk, 15 April 2023
Tracks: 'Race to the end'  / 'Seasons of love'
