Out now, Aphrodite's Child 666 (The Apocalypse of John 13/18) Today, November 8, marks the re-release of "666", the legendary concept album by Aphrodite's Child. Originally met with mixed reactions and a period of delay due to themes deemed provocative by the record company, this double-length album has since become iconic in progressive rock. Known for its otherworldly blend of rock, electronic, and Greek music, "666" continues to influence generations of musicians and stands as one of the most important works in the genre, despite its initially lukewarm commercial reception. The 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, crafted under Vangelis's guidance before his passing in 2022, celebrates the album's groundbreaking legacy. Available in various formats, including as a 4-CD/1-Blu-ray set, this special deluxe boxset edition includes: Remastered Audio: Featuring both the original album mix and the rare 1974 Greek LP alternative mix, with new audio clarity brought by Vangelis's own oversight. Blu-ray Disc: Including a high-quality 96 kHz/24-bit Atmos, 5.1 up-mix, and stereo mixes. The Blu-ray also includes a 28-minute video segment from "Discorama", a 1972 French TV show where Vangelis discusses the album and performs an improvised solo, with English subtitles. Deluxe Booklet: A richly illustrated booklet with original interviews, and rare, previously unseen photographs sourced from Vangelis's archives. In addition to the 4-CD/1-Blu-ray set, there is a regular 2-LP version of the remastered original album, along with an exclusive red 2-LP version, which has become highly sought after. The album is also available for streaming on all major music platforms, allowing fans worldwide to experience its remastered sound.
