The Philips High Voltage ...


One thing that seems certain about the recording history of our country is that during the first half of the seventies was the seal RCA Victor who commanded the radio and face the hosts in our native market. Everything indicates that this label released all the time many of their series of collected, as well as albums of the groups or soloists were the same, with the characteristic orange label, white or yellow printed on both sides of the LP ... It is impossible to imagine a "raid" of that time without some 33 third or a few scattered singles for the label next to the turntable, or freshly made lemonade.

However, there are indications that other labels, such as transnational PHILIPS, also sought a way to compete on the radio, the market and appeal to young people, edited some things compiled version, addressing a space and a music world something other than RCA, so do not dance, but "heard." Thus we find the case of LP will share in this occasion, HIGH REVOLUTION, 1972.

The content of 12 subjects, combining styles like pop groups such as Brass Monkey ephemeral, things in the line of rock, like that provided by DBM. & T (Dave Dee, Beaky, Mick and Tich) with "Souki" or the well-known "Maggie May" Rock Stewart, the last singer to this day remains in force (just recently came to Chile.) Then there are the romantic ballads of the French court Michel Sardou and Johnny Hallyday (known as the French Elvis Presley), or the Italian Nicoletta Strambelli, stage name Patty Pravo (remember?, A skinny woman well.) But most owners of this collection is the inclusion of the wonderful song "Such a funny night", or "A fun night," the Greek group Aphrodite's Child, which, if you allow, I will a bit more extensive, the same applies to the vocalist Demis Roussos, who also included the topic in the high revolution, "Bailamos" ...

The first highlight of Aphrodite's Child is that their sound is framed more in music progressive and prog rock that was evolving to late seventies that invaded the pop radio scheduling of our country I have does not actually aware that the songs this group has ever danced in the Studio so lolos 3 ... The other thing that two of its members, developed decades later solo careers paths, widely recognized worldwide until today: the case of keyboardist Vangelis Papathanassiu (or just plain Vangelis ...) and singer Demis Roussos . The group's record production totals only 3 albums, essential in the musical history of the early seventies, one of them, "It's Five O'clock" of 1969, contained the song that almost three years after it joins Philips collecting high revolution, "a fun night," a song in which the voice of Roussos gives an unmistakable mark his later career ...

This gentleman, however, was not born in Greece but in Egypt, Alexandria City, back in 1946, 15 June. His parents, soon after the Suez Crisis, the late fifties, they lose all we have accomplished as a family and decide to travel to settle in Greece, pa ís where ancestors are reunited with their families. In this way, and as Demis grows, it cultivating his taste for music, especially cutting the lyrical, initially integrating groups without much resonance, until the year 1968 goes to form, together with his friend Vangelis, the band Son of Aphrodite and Aphrodite's Child. After this experience comes his solo stage, which began precisely with the topic "Shall We Dance" or "dance" first published in 1971. In this sense, it reminded me, having heard, I think at the age of 15 years, I do not know how many times a tape with the hits of Demis Roussos in English, which my brother had gotten I do not know who where this song was included, along with others, an event that necessarily marked my personal preference for music This gentleman, as his many raids made with Vangelis ...
peculiar
There are also stories that are told of Roussos. One of these, perhaps more anecdotal, is having been a passenger in a plane hijacked on June 14, 1985 and that his captors learned he was going, and that tomorrow would be a birthday, celebrate it as a sign of admiration and respect ... Clearly, more than clear, that nothing bad would happen at that time, the plane salcvo fall ...
