| Description: | Originally released in 1972 by Greek band Aphrodite??s Child, ??666 - The Apocalypse Of John?? 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 ??a work of stunning complexity and originality? and is the crowning moment in
the career of Aphrodite??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 ??The Four Horsemen??, ??Aegian Sea??, ??Babylon??, ??Do It??, ??The Beast?? and ??All the
Seats Were Occupied??, this album??s renown has grown steadily over the decades, influencing successive
generations of musicians.
??666? was completed over a year prior to its eventual release thanks to the presence of the
controversial track ?????, which featured Greek actress Irene Papas vocal performance which simulated
orgasmic ecstasy. Upon the album??s original release in 1972, the band had split up, but its originality and
sheer unalloyed quality meant that a ??cult?? has slowly built around it over the ensuing decades. ??666? 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, ??666? 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 ??swirl?? period that refers to the famous label design used between 1969
and 1973. - 180G"666 (The Apocalypse Of John, 13/18)" is a legendary double LP by Aphrodite's Child, released under the Mercury label. This concept album, inspired by the Book of Revelation, stands as one of the most ambitious and influential progressive rock records ever made. Fusing psychedelic rock with experimental sounds and dramatic storytelling, "666" takes listeners on a journey through apocalyptic visions and philosophical themes. The band Aphrodite's Child'featuring Vangelis Papathanassiou (later known for his Oscar-winning film scores) and Demis Roussos (celebrated for his solo career)'achieved international acclaim with hits like "Rain and Tears." Their innovative approach to music has left an indelible mark on both prog-rock and popular music history. Mercury Records, renowned for its diverse catalog spanning genres from jazz to pop to rock since 1945, has been home to many iconic artists over decades. With this release, they further cement their reputation as curators of groundbreaking musical artistry. |
