Artist:	APHRODITE'S CHILD
Title:	End of the World
Label:	WORLD PSYCHEDELIA (WORLD'S LEADING TERRORIST STATE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	WPC6 8475

Well done bootleg reissue of their first album, from 1968. Originally issued by Mercury in Europe only. "Surprise hit album that resulted when the hyper-talented Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras fled from the Greek military junta to the relative safety of Paris and the 1968 student uprisings; the single 'Rain and Tears', based on Pachelbel's famous 'Canon' became the song of the year... and careers outside of Greece became real for two of the three Aphrodite's members; beautiful and strange album -- dream-like, baroque, carefully crafted pop/psych; very much in the style of English bands of the era, but with that little twist that makes it all even more special; six bonus tracks compiling rare non-LP singles tracks round out this fine reissue; lyrics and photos too in 12-page booklet."

Title:	It's Five O'Clock
Label:	WORLD PSYCHEDELIA (WORLD'S LEADING TERRORIST STATE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	WPC6 8505

"Second of three albums from Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras (Aphrodite's Child), who fled from the Greek military junta to the relative safety of Paris and the 1968 student uprisings; the surprise success of the band's first album End of the World called for the release of another record, so the band began to prepare a return to the studio. What did not seem possible a year before now finally was, and the three Greeks traveled to London to record It's Five O'Clock in Trident Studios. The first single, 'Let Me Love, Let Me Live,' released in October 1969, made it to a number one position in the French charts, but it was the B-side 'Marie Jolie' that was most popular in the rest of Europe. The title track 'It's Five O'Clock' quickly followed the same path; released in December 1969, it did well in the charts of many European countries. Dream-like, baroque, carefully crafted pop/psych with English lyrics, in some ways very much in the style of English bands of the era, but with that little twist that makes it very special; three bonus tracks including rare singles; lyrics and photos too in the 16-page booklet."
