Following 1976's release of Barry's Spooktacularathon, a themed album shifting his career away from Rock and towards Halloween gimmick albums, several of his close friends advised (and perhaps even begged) for Barry to give the idea up. However, Wom insisted this was the future of popular music, and released Barry the 666th, another Halloween album created from the few recording sessions with his themed band.
The title which uses the 'number of the beast' has been clearly claimed as simply a number that was used because Barry found it scary, people have claimed that this refers to the idea that this is his sixth album with two extra sixes added to it. Some other people have also tried to explain that by the title this proves that Barry is a satanist.
This album would cost him his career, and he spent the next several years mostly away from the recording studio and instead focusing on his new career in hairdressing. His career would only be given a second chance when the award-winning documentary film All You Need Is Cash caused a second-wave of Rutlemania, and he began sporadically releasing albums again soon after.
