In the weirdest coincidence ever, yesterday I was cleaning up some dusty vinyl in my collection, including Uriah Heep's Demons and Wizards, and noticed 666 being advertised as one of the other Mercury albums that was new at the time (i.e. 1972). I'd never heard of it -- I don't think I'd ever taken the whole sleeve out of the jacket -- so imagine my disbelief to look 666 up and discover a new remaster came out *last week*. Anyway, I don't know if it's prog, but it's fun and well worth a listen. Thanks for the review!
I bought this when I was a teenager in the 1980s. I was so glad my mum wasn’t around when ‘infinity’ came on. Unlike anything I’d heard before! The Verve were influenced by this for sure, especially on Rolling People!
Haha yes! I sold my original copy (when I had no cash). Just bought the red vinyl reissue. The sound quality is amazing. Sterling effort from Vangelis on the remaster (RIP).
yeah great i might buy it, i do have a copy but not with the swirl labels, and as i am a huge vertigo collector im very keen, the recent reisue of ian carrs belladonna also replicates the original label;s and cover, thats on vertigo tooo and def worth getting.
The other two Aphrodite's Child albums are quite different (more poppy), but not bad. This one remains a favorite of mine. I would call it a masterpiece.
a Vangelis Masterpice of composing music. With Demis Roussos on Vocals and Lucas sideras on drums and Silver koulouris on guitars. What´s can me wrong?

@@AmandaJET That's pretty awesome! That Uriah Heep album is a killer.

@johnbowman657 I was a bit shocked by that too! So cool you've been listening for so long.

666 just gets better with every listen. It's like the darnn thing is alive, growing. Changing. Its actually a bit scary.
@@iansmith6166 That is kinda awesome!
I bought an old copy for my son several years ago on the spaceship vertigo lable
@joet_swbo101 - Love that label, too. Found a copy of Mob Rules with that label a while back, and it looks killer!
I'm going to get a copy based on your enthusiasm for this.
@@russellthechemist8291 - Thank you! I have really fallen in love with this album. It's so killer.
Had my eye on this one for a while too but never listened - going to check it out!
@ReposeRecords Totally blew me away. So many killer riffs.

@@richardfinlayson1524 There's not much that looks better than a Vertigo swirl on a turntable

@@idontlikestarwars Worth listening to the others?
@@therecordroom Maybe check out a few songs on YT before buying, to see if you like them.

@@electronicmusiclover7924 - Agreed!
Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud.
@@michaelbrown8619 The only way to listen!
It’s not a Prog Rock album.
@@securityrobot - It's not?
