Vangelis - Heaven and Hell - 1976 - RCA - Electronic - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1976 US reissue of Heaven and Hell, catalog number AFL1-5110, represents a pivotal moment in electronic music history as the first album Vangelis recorded at his legendary Nemo Studios in London. Primarily known for its symphonic breadth and atmospheric depth, the record features a stunning blend of synthesizers, percussion, and choral arrangements performed by the English Chamber Choir. It is a concept piece that explores the duality of human experience, moving from the grandiose and rhythmic Bacchanale to the haunting, darker textures of the second side. Fans of the iconic PBS series Cosmos will recognize Movement 3 as the show's main theme, and the album also includes a rare, ethereal vocal collaboration with Jon Anderson of the band Yes on the track So Long Ago, So Clear. This RCA pressing is an essential acquisition for collectors of progressive rock and ambient music who appreciate the rich, analog soundscapes that defined 1970s experimental composition.

♼ - By purchasing this album, you’re helping to keep music out of the landfills and onto the turntables. Music deserves to be played, not discarded. I greatly appreciate you helping me keep the analog spirit alive.

♡ - Because this is a pre-loved item, you may notice minor wear. I personally think that adds to the charm and nostalgia.
