This 1969 single, featuring the A-side "It's Five O'Clock" and B-side "Written on the Snow," was a departure from the band's earlier, more psychedelic sound, leaning towards a baroque pop sensibility that would characterize their later work. It marked a significant step in their evolution, showcasing a more polished and commercially oriented direction.
- "It's Five O'Clock" reached number 1 on the French charts, number 8 in Belgium, and number 2 in the Netherlands.
- The single was released on Polydor in most territories, but on Mercury Records in some European countries.
- The song was later included on the band's 1972 album "666," though in a significantly different, longer, and more experimental arrangement.
Aphrodite's Child was a progressive rock supergroup formed in Athens, Greece, by Vangelis, Demis Roussos, Loukas Sideras, and Anargyros Koulouris. The band relocated to Paris in 1968 and became an integral part of the European psychedelic rock scene.
