DEMIS ROUSSOS The Hits

If you have found some new discovery, or there is a new Vangelis related release in your country, please write to me. If you can provide a scan, that would be even better! I'll add it here with your credit. Please help build this site! Write to me by clicking here!

It is no great secret that Demis eclipsed Vangelis during the 70s in terms of success. Demis captured the world audience, while Vangelis established himself and exploded in the 80s. Demis was rolling in money, and had hits too numerous to mention here. The reocrd companies could not release hit compilations fast enough. There are so many, that compiling a list may be impossible. Many of the Demis compilations have original Aphrodite's Child tracks on them. I've decided to list them all here, as the titles are marketed as Demis Roussos items.
