Description

Originally released in 1972 by Greek band Aphrodites 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 Aphrodites 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 albums renown has grown steadily over the decades, influencing successive generations of musicians. The two double vinyl sets contain the original 1972 album remaster.
