***Surprise hit album by the hyper-talented Vangelis Papathanassiou, Demis Roussos and Lucas Sideras, who fled 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 launched careers outside of Greece for two of the three Aphrodite's members. A beautiful and strange album of dreamlike, baroque, and 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. Includes six bonus tracks taken from non-LP singles. Packaged with a 12-page booklet of lyrics and photos.
