Description

Glorious and glossy 2nd pressing - on the Vertigo Spaceship label - of Aphrodite's Child's mighty 1972 double-album '666'.
Both vinyl and sleeve are in excellent condition, essentially near mint, and both records play almost perfectly without any pops, hissing, jumps or interruptions.

Previous owners clearly didn't play this album more than a few times, and it has clearly been lovingly cared for over the years.
There is some extremely minor shelf wear, but no ringwear, tears, stickers, writing etc
Aphrodite's Child were Greece's premier Progressive Rock group of the early 1970's, and issued three studio albums between 1968 and 1972, with '666' the last and best.  At the time of '666', the group was comprised of Evangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussous and Lucas Sideras.  Whilst their first two albums - 1968's 'End of the World' and 1969's 'It's Five O'Clock' - mixed folk, pop and psychedelia, '666' saw the trio dabbling in full-on progressive rock.
Following the album's 1972 release, the three members would go their separate ways, with Papathanassiou going on to enjoy a hugely-successful solo career under the name Vangelis after producing a succession of ethereal electronic prog-rock albums throughout the 1970's and 1980's, whilst Roussous would become a world-renowned pop singer with a massive and adoring international fanbase.   A heady and rather extraordinary mixture of psychedelia, prog-rock, experimental musings and colourful instrumental flourishes, '666' is a stone-cold European classic - an album quite unlike any other - and one of the most ambitious recordings of the era.
Greece was home to a colourful progressive rock scene during the 1970's, with groups such as Axis, Socrates, Akritas and Iraklis putting their own unique spin on the genre, one coloured by the country's febrile political atmosphere.
Although small, the Greek prog scene produced some great records, with '666' the cream of the crop.
