Product Description
Brand New ~ Sealed! 180 Gram Double Vinyl Set In Gatefold Cover. Special New Edition Of The Classic 1972 Aphrodite’s Child Album, Remastered Under The Supervision Of Vangelis, Cut At Abbey Road Studios.
‘666’ is one of the most original progressive rock albums of all time. Composed by the late maestro 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. Featuring material such as “The Four Horsemen”, “Aegian Sea”, “Babylon”, “Do It”, “The Beast” and “All the Seats Were Occupied”, the album’s renown has grown steadily over the decades, influencing successive generations of musicians. Unique and relevant over 52 years after its original release, it is 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.
