Here's a music track from episode 13 of The Weird Tales Radio Show back in March: The Four Horsemen from the Aphrodite's Child album 666. It was recorded during 1970/71, and released in 1972. Video footage of Demis Roussos, then still the lead singer and bass guitarist with Aphrodite's Child, taken in 1971.

 Separated at birth? My thanks to Andy Stokes for snapping this image of a hare with a tabor – the location is Chatsworth House Gardens and the sculpture is by the late Barry Flanagan.
Welcome to Episode 17 of the Weird Tales Radio Show. We talk about the folklore of the St Mark’s Eve Vigil and learn how Charles failed to see any ghosts. In our big interview we talk to artist Stuart Pearson Wright about art, werewolves and J.K.Rowling. Janie explores the myth of the underground tunnel beneath Bungay Castle. We look at the legend of the Spinning Highwayman’s Stone and ask if Countess Elizabeth Bathory may have been right about bathing in blood. And, for light relief we’ll also be playing some suitably occult music by Jethro Tull and the late Warren Zevon. Available now on iTunes, YouTube and all the usual suspects OR just click on the player below.
