  9. Does anyone else here think Seven Trumpets is really the start of the album, and should be attached to Babylon? The crowd noise that starts to swell up at the end of 7T matches that in Babylon, and it's such a better intro than The System, what with Ladies and Gentlemen being the opening words

  12. Thanks for this!
    A word to the wise though, don't make the mistake I did and waste a whole lot of your download quota (if you are limited to a certain amount per month) by getting all three parts. I downloaded all three from Mega, only to find that each of them contains all the music and scans, so I downloaded about 1.2GB more than necessary.

  13. Hi there. My theory why only the Greek version differs is this. When the album was ready he decided to release it in his home country first. After production was under way in Greece he decided on a few last edits, which improve the flow and reduce the gaps. To me that is the most logical scenario. Thanks to all who have made it possible for me to hear the unique Greek version. Bas

  14. Hi, What is the difference between the three links? The first one is slightly bigger, the other two the same. Looking in the folder, it seems all three are pretty much the album and scans. Are there any differences in the music within these three links? Thnks.

    1. There are no differences between the links. There are some little differences. Between the Greek
      Vinyl and the CD. You have to click on (All the differences here)

  15. Thank you so much for posting this high quality rarity and keeping the links alive! Looking forward to comparing versions of this classic album.

    For downloaders: All three mega links are the same (not literal parts 1,2,&3), and the slightly different sized one just has a different amount of redundant (extra copy) jpeg/txt files in each subfolder. You'll get the identical files from each separate download.

    Well worth any minor confusion, though; Thank you for having such an amazing blog!
    Cheers from a fellow Vangelis fan!
