RECORD COLLECTOR - March 2007
Rock Progressivo Italiano
Paolo Barotto & Marco D'Ubaldo
****
Magnifico! Comprised of a beautifully put-together hardback book reproducing masses of wonderful and imaginative album sleeves, and a 15-track compilation CD culled from italian progr-rock's 70s heyday, this set is a real RC package.
Proclaiming itself the genre's most comprehensive catalogue, the editors have brought together an array of images marked up with names of band members. catalogue numbers and an indicationof the rarity of the source vinyl. It's a labour of love, inspired by a movement the book concedes had an "almost total lack of success with audiences".
