The story of 666 album by Aphrodite's Child
The album 666 by Aprhodite's Child is one of the most superb Art-Rock works of all time,
combining progressive Rock with crucial concept themes.
There are a lot of stories, surrounding this famous "666".
It was the 3rd album of Aphrodite's Child.
At the end of 1970 the recording of this album started in Paris.
It took more than 3 month to record.
The costs where about $ 80,000.
The album was released in 1972.
The content of the album caused concern within Mercury (Philips) Records due to its controversial content.
Mercury Records were most displeased with the track "Infinite" as they interpreted it as blasphemous.
It resulted in the release intitially being shelved and then swapped to Vertigo, Mercury's sister company.
They asked vangelis to cut out five minutes and he refused.
The British record company said: "This is not good. It's pornographic,
it's terrible and we're not going to release it.
Vangelis refused to take the track off, but edited the work through 1971 to reduce its length.
Eventually, twelve month later (It was forbidden for one year) it was released in 1972, but was censored in some countries (such as Spain). "Infinity" got "666" banned from radio airplay when it was first released.
The cover of "666" also seemed to reinforce the claims of blasphemy due to the comment on the sleeve: "This work was recorded under the influence of "sahlep".
Fundamentalist Christians interpreted this as Evanghelos (the bringer of good news) being possessed by Satan and the possibility that "sahlep" was perhaps a black magic sect
Salvador Dali wrote a fantastic script for directing a great happening in Barcelona, for the premiere of "666".
Unfortunately this happening never took place.
