The original discography was published in Antipodes vol. 37/38, pp. 81-89, 1995, and can also be found here.

The following entries were not included in the original discography, either because the recordings had not yet been published, or because I was not aware of their existence. I will add more entries to this Addendum as time permits...

• Charalampidis 2010
  Πάλι μαζί. Singer: Vladimiros Charalampidis (Βλαδίμηρος Χαραλαμπίδης). An album of 15 songs published by Vasipap (Thessaloniki) on the Thermaikos label (ASIN: B0742RJB99). Also available to buy and download from the iTunes store. Unfortunately the iTunes files contain hardly any information, but it is likely that the songs were written by Charalampidis himself. Charalampidis migrated to Australia in 1982, after a successful career as a singer and songwriter in Greece. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4jbXwh5Cfw). He specialised in Pontian dialect songs (as on this album), but his most famous song was the excellent laiko Πού θα πας χαρά μου, composed by Stratos Vallianos.
