Tracklist 

GREECE

REST OF THE WORLD

The System

 (0:25)

(0:23)

The Greek issue has clearer timpani percussion at the end of the track.

Babylon

(2:57)

(2:47)

The crowd goes mad for an extra 10 seconds at the end of the track on the Greek issue!

Loud, Loud, Loud

(2:43)

(2:42)

There is no fade-out or overlapping effects into the next track, "The Four Horsemen", on the Greek issue.

The Four Horsemen

(6:10)

(5:54)

As there was no fade-in from the previous track, the introduction is clearer and longer on the Greek version. Again, there is no fade-out or overlapping effects into the next track, "The Lamb".

The Lamb

(4:36)

(4:34)

A clear introduction to the track, extending by a few seconds, on the Greek version.

The Seventh Seal

(1:30)

No difference.

Aegian Sea

Seven Bowls

The Wakening Beast

Lament

No difference.

The Marching Beast

(2:00)

(2:00)

No difference.

The Battle of the Locust

(1:41)

(0:56)

Unbelievable, two additional stanzas of Angel Koulouris riffing on his guitar like Hendrix on the Greek issue! Plus, there is more awesome percussion by Lucas Sideras. This version totally rocks and it is a shame that Koulouris' solo is cut back everywhere else in the world! This track has always been a stand-out for many fans.

Do It

(1:44)

(1:44)

No difference.

Tribulation

(0:32)

The Beast

Ofis

No difference.

Seven Trumpets

(0:36)

(0:35)

There is no fade-out or overlapping of this track into the next track, "Altamont", on the Greek issue.

Altamont

(5:29)

(4:33)

On the Greek issue, "Altamont" starts with the spoken phrase, "This is the sight we had one day up on the high mountain", then the music starts. There is no fade out or overlapping into the next track, "The Wedding of the Lamb". Indeed, the ending of "Altamont" is extended and more defined, with continued singing and instrumentation, with a very distinct ending.

The Wedding of the Lamb

(4:15)

(3:38)

The Greek issue has an extended fade-in to begin the track.

The Capture of the Beast

(2:17)

(2:17)

No difference.

¥ (Infinity)

(5:15)

(5:15)

No difference.

Hic et Nunc

(4:37)

(2:55)

For me, the HIGHLIGHT of the Greek issue! The version is extended. When Vangelis begins his playful piano solo after the minute mark, there is no overlapping of "The System", and the solo is heard clearly, plus it is extended! Better yet, the ending of the track is also extended: more Vangelis piano, more Koulouris guitar, more repeating of the horn section, and finally, the piano playing goes crazy, the crowd cheers like mad, and then "The System" is reprised, much more sinister sounding at the end!!!!

All the Seats Were Occupied

(19:19)

(19:19)

No difference.

Break

(2:56)

(2:58)

The exclamation of "Do It" is missing from the Greek issue.

Very rare double LP of APHRODITE'S CHILD (Vangelis Papathanassiou & Demis Roussos first group)

Probably early 90's reissue...has the 1989 CD cat # on the back (CD/838 430-2). 
Like the 1974 first Greek Pressing,it has unique mix to many tracks, including some longer versions.

SS = Still Sealed: Record is still factory/label sealed in its original plastic shrink.
 
M = Mint: Record is flawless like it has just been opened. Never been played or item is still sealed. Cover and any extra items included such as lyric-sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition with no visible signs of wear at all. I never use this term for used items but I will use it for records that originally came unsealed by label and are actually new and unplayed.
 
NM = Near Mint: The record is like new with no obvious surface marks and has been played/audio tested one or two times. Cover and contents are nearly perfect and one or two hardly visible imperfections or insignificant marks on cover might be present.
 
EX (+/-) = Excellent: Record shows very few signs of being played and might have minor and insignificant signs of use like hairline, particles of dust or a couple of finger marks. Surface area is clean and shiny and there is unnoticeable to zero lessening in sound quality. Cover and contents might have slight wear and/or creasing. I use the plus and minus symbols in this grading category, to better describe the condition of each item.
 
VG+ = Very Good Plus: Record has been played quite a few times but there is no significant deterioration in sound quality, despite visible surface marks like light scratches and/or light scuffs. Records of this grading are still in very good condition and have no heavy scratches or major defects. Some ticks or pops might be present at play but no skips allowed in this category. The cover has obvious signs of use/wear like a slight mark from removed price tag, some corner wear and ‘acceptable’ creasing but no major defects like seam/spine splits, tears, cuts or discoloration.
 
VG = Very Good: Record has been played many times but there is no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch or visible scuffing. Surface area is not too shiny and clean. Noticeable wear, price tag marks and/or small tear are obvious on cover or contents but still no major defects. 
 
VG- = G = Good: Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. Cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc but in general terms record is still acceptable. I rarely to never list records of this grading category but if item is extremely rare to only suit collection-filling purposes.
 
FAIR/POOR: I never list records of these grading categories or any less than VG.
