Aphrodite's Child - 666 2 x 180 gram vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)
SKU
18-MV 032
Limited edition of 1,000, mastered directly off of the original analogue master tapes! This sounds a ton better than my crappy original US pressing did, even though I loved that album to death circa 1975.
Aphrodite's Child were a Greek pop band of the late 1960's who released a number of huge hits in Europe, each a little more insipid than the one before it. They were also the first band of Demis Roussos (still a huge pop star in Europe and still making fairly insipid music) and soon-to-be-legendary keyboardist, etc. Vangelis Papathanassiou. Then, for their final work together in 1971, which wasn't released until 1972, after they had disbanded, they came up with this legendary, early psychedelic/progressive double classic based loosely on The Apocalypse of John ("Anyone who has intelligence may interpret the number of The Beast. It is a man's number. This number is 666."). Fantastic guitarwork throughout by the least known member of the group, Silver Kolouris and just one of the greatest Greek (and early 70s) albums of all time!
