Aphrodite’s Child 666 The Apocalypse Of John remastered

Aphrodite's Child - 666  The Apocalypse Of John

All remastered audio, including Atmos Up-Mix overseen by Vangelis

Release 8 November 2024

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).

With all versions to be released on 8 November 2024, the 4-CD / 1 Blu Ray set contains audio remastered versions of the original album mix and the rare 1974 Greek LP mix (which featured considerably different mixes to the original LP release). The Blu Ray disc features a 96 kHz / 24-bit Atmos and 5.1 up mixes and stereo mix, all of which were overseen by Vangelis. The Blu Ray also contains bonus video content of a 28-minute episode of the French television show Discorama from June 1972 featuring Vangelis performing in the television studio and talking about the album (with English subtitles added). The two double vinyl sets contain the original 1972 album remaster.

This set also includes a lavishly illustrated book featuring a new essay and original interviews with the band plus many previously unseen photographs that Vangelis sourced from his various archives around Europe not long before his sad passing in May 2022
