The concept album to end all concept albums has come again. Fifty-two years after its initial release, 666 by Aphrodite’s Child – a sprawlingly ambitious and bombastic sonic interpretation of The Book Of Revelation – gets the kind of reissue treatment reserved only for the most revered of cult classics.
As well as a double album and four-CD set, there’s also an exhaustive box set featuring the remastered original album, a 1974 Greek release mix, a 5.1 mix and an Atmos Up-Mix overseen by Vangelis before his death. And if that weren’t enough, there’s a Blu-ray interview with Vangelis from 1972 taken from the French TV show Discorama to get stuck into as well.
