Description:
Originally released in 1972 by Greek band Aphroditeâ??s Child, â??666 - The Apocalypse Of Johnâ?? is
one of the most controversial, ambitious, exotic and lauded progressive rock albums of all time.
Composed by Vangelis, with lyrics written by Costas Ferris, it is a conceptual double album that was
hailed upon its release as â??a work of stunning complexity and originalityâ? and is the crowning moment in
the career of Aphroditeâ??s Child, a group which also featured the outstanding talent of Demis Roussos
(vocals, bass guitar), later an internationally renowned vocalist and solo artist, along with the gifted
musicians Silver Koulouris (lead guitar) and Lucas Sideras (drums, vocals).
Featuring material such as â??The Four Horsemenâ??, â??Aegian Seaâ??, â??Babylonâ??, â??Do Itâ??, â??The Beastâ?? and â??All the
Seats Were Occupiedâ??, this albumâ??s renown has grown steadily over the decades, influencing successive
generations of musicians.
â??666â? was completed over a year prior to its eventual release thanks to the presence of the
controversial track â??â??â?, which featured Greek actress Irene Papas vocal performance which simulated
orgasmic ecstasy. Upon the albumâ??s original release in 1972, the band had split up, but its originality and
sheer unalloyed quality meant that a â??cultâ?? has slowly built around it over the ensuing decades. â??666â? is
now regarded as one of the finest rock albums of a particularly fine era and required listening for
rock/metal enthusiasts and exotic music freaks alike.
The double vinyl set contain the original 1972 album remaster.
Unique and relevant over 50 years after its original release, â??666â? is now widely regarded as one of the
most accomplished and important records ever released on the legendary Vertigo imprint, the jewel in
the crown from the so-called â??swirlâ?? period that refers to the famous label design used between 1969
and 1973. - 180G
