APHRODITE'S CHILD End Of The World (CD)

(Cherry Red Records) 11 tracks

*End Of The World* by the Greek psych/prog legends Aphrodite's Child. The band was founded in 1967 by keyboardist VANGELIS and also featured Demis Roussos on bass and vocals, as well as Lucas Sideras on drums. Their classic debut album was released in 1968 and included the international hit “Rain and Tears,” which was partly inspired by Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale.”

However, the album also showcased a more experimental side of the band with psychedelic gems like “The Grass is No Green,” “You Always Stand in My Way,” and “Day of the Fool.” This reissue from Esoteric Recordings has been remastered from the original tapes and includes both sides of Aphrodite’s Child’s first single as bonus tracks.
