Aphrodite’s Child- 666 (The Apocalypse Of John 13/18) (50th Anniversary Edition) – Box Set

666 is one of the most original progressive rock albums of all time. Composed by the late maestro Vangelis, with lyrics by Costas Ferris, it is a conceptual double album that was praised on its release as “a work of breathtaking complexity and originality” and represents the crowning achievement in Aphrodite’s Child’s career.

With tracks such as “The Four Horsemen”, “Aegian Sea”, “Babylon”, “Do It”, “The Beast” and “All the Seats Were Occupied”, the album has steadily grown in stature over the decades and influenced subsequent generations of musicians.

This box set includes remastered audio versions of the original album mix and the rare 1974 Greek LP version (which featured a significantly different mix than the original LP release), as well as a Blu-ray disc with 96 kHz / 24-bit Atmos & 5.1 upmixes & stereo mix, all supervised by Vangelis. The disc also includes a bonus 28-minute episode of the French television program Discorama from June 1972, in which Vangelis talks about the album (with English subtitles).

The box set includes a richly illustrated book with a new essay and original interviews with the band, as well as many previously unpublished photos that Vangelis tracked down in his various archives in Europe shortly before his death in May 2022.
