EITZEL, MARK - The Ugly American (Sealed) (LP)

Very Limited 180g LP pressing (500). Mastered for vinyl at Abbey Road. Mark Eitzel's 'The Ugly American' Now Available On Vinyl For The First Time. A lull after the electronically ambient album 'The Invisible Man ' (2001) MARK EITZEL'S recording output was followed by two releases: a covers album 'Music For Courage And Confidence' (2002) and an album of solo and AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB songs re-interpretations 'The Ugly American' (2003) performed by a band with traditional Greek musicians. 'The Ugly American 'was originally mooted as an EP after an invitation to Athens, Greece to reinterpret certain songs under the guidance of respected local musician MANOLIS FAMELLOS. The trip to Athens (Greece) materialized in November 2001 and a full-blown 10 track album was agreed. The subsequent album was recorded and released in 2003 on cd only. Seventeen years later, with a rejigged artwork and an Abbey Road cut, 'The Ugly American 'is unveiled for the first time on vinyl. The ten tracks cover a varied period of MARK EITZEL'S solo output, the cult band AMERICAN MUSIC CLUB albums, and a sole composition from MANOLIS FAMELLOS ('Love's Humming')
