WELCOME CD REISSUE OF THE RAREST AND MOST EXPENSIVE PROG. ITEM
FROM ITALY. A LITTLE BIT LIKE "RICORDI D'INFANZIA" IN SOME TRACKS
BUT WITH A VERY PERSONAL STYLE.
BALLETTO DI BRONZO

OPUS. CONSIDERED BY BARTOCCETTI THE "ONE AND ONLY" JACULA RECORDING,
IT'S HERE TO CARRY YOU INTO THE WITCHES WORLD!
JUMBO
Violini d'autunno
CD - MMP 119
SURPRISE! WE ALL THOUGHT THAT JUMBO SPLIT OFF AFTER "VIETATO".
WELL, THAT'S UNTRUE! JUMBO STAYED TOGETHER TILL 85 AND IN 83 THEY
RECORDED THIS WORK OF ART. ONLY SLIGHTLY LESS PROGRESSIVE BUT
STILL VERY GOOD INDEED.
CRYSTALS
Crystals
CD - MMP 120
MAYBE THE FIRST ITALIAN SUPERGROUP (WITH EX PFM, BANCO, AREA,
ALPHATAURUS MEMBERS), PLAYING A LED ZEPPELIN STYLE ROCK. WHEN
I FIRST HEARD THE TAPES I TOLD TO MY LABEL PARTNER "GREAT! ZEP
OUTTAKES?" UNDOUBTEDLY THE GREATEST ITALIAN HARDROCK / PROGRESSIVE
ITEM EVER, FORGET TEOREMI! RECORDED IN 1974.
