The psych and prog collectors are wild! I see them at some record fairs, usually a very small table with a handful of albums and they are all like $3000-5000. I think the Tokio record is a big prog want

[ScoJo]

That's interesting... and pretty baffling. Love that album but it hardly screams prog/psych. It's about the gentlest, most melodious of libraries I can think of, all lightness of touch and melody and pure-70s tv background cues. I guess tis all in the ear of the beholder! (unless it has some particular arcane significance to hardcore proggers for some reason... featured personnel?)

[ScoJo]

Btw Tex (and speaking of psych grails) if you ever happen to see any Howell/Ferdinando private press gold on your wordly travels, do send up a smoke signal for old ScoJo ;-)

(or, indeed, my biggest want - Dandelions/Tres and Kitsy)

[texasvinyl]

I will be at a show this weekend! Although it tends to be a boring one, they are going to see my $30 albums that I priced for $15 and think "man this is expensive got any dollar records?"

[ScoJo]

Heh! For 'label research' (aherm) purposes, we're considering a trip to the next Utrecht fair here in Europe. It's huge. Could get messy.

[texasvinyl]

You can say "honey, look what I found for ten euros, isn't that great??" as you show a mint copy of Belladonna of Sadness

[ScoJo]

[texasvinyl]

This one had our little guy dancing along to the breezy bossa vibes

[milliondollars]

selling Vivere a Tokio? no way! this won't happen unless i'm broke. i rate it much higher than my Zoo Folle nowadays...

[milliondollars]

have played this record last night. i consider it a sinister and evil masterpiece and it sounds like a unreleased score of a super bad western flick...this could have been used in Hateful Eight and it would have matched well...almost whole album can be heard over hereand i believe it is on spotify, too. recommended!!

You know the first edition of the year is April 13th and 14th and the David Lynch exhibit runs until April 28. By train Maastricht-Utrecht is 2 hours away. Just saying...

I will have to spin it again. This one has never clicked for me. Thanks for the rec on the Cooper, I have not heard this one. Have ignored this label completely after hearing several that were marginal like Rievocazioni Storiche and Jazz at Meridiana. I do have Elettrogialli on my want list from several years ago, I don't remember why so it is probably something you posted!

it is important to know about this release as it is a contender of the "where the hell is Vol.2 library list"... library records that were so terribly good (or in most cases bad), that they did not deserve a Vol.2...

[texasvinyl]

Lol you and these funny lists! Although who knows, maybe there is volume 2 but no one found a copy yet!

Fortunately this volume 2 exists and is better than volume 1!

[texasvinyl]

Side A is three Morricone + Nicolai orchestrals, first a long piece from The Rover. The second track is a heavy organ piece. The third is a tension piece with violin and choral stress notes. The B side tracks are by Usuelli, Fusco and Grano. They mostly sound old. The track "Inutile Attesa" is interesting and kind if has a low key meandering suspense vibe.

I would say this record is a pass overall. Along with #1 from the series. #2 is quite good.

[texasvinyl]

#4 is the best in the series, with side A filled with top notch psychedelic Morricone. And a really good melancholy Western opens side b.

[texasvinyl]

De Filippi (Luigi, but probably Rino) "Marcabru", and my guess is these are tracks from a couple of different sessions. Tracks like "Gleaming" and "Hermitage" are excellent, I really like the whole record a lot.



Check it out, there are more tracks on YouTube

Pierpaolo (the man behind Four Flies Records) sent me a full list of the RCA SP 10000 series for sale. don't know where he found it but it was complete from 10001 to something like 10100. i have passed on it since i got my SP s**t together. if anyone needs to fill some gaps, i would suggest to try to get in touch with him even if i assume the list has been kind of cannibalized during the past two months...

[texasvinyl]

@million which of the Musiche Genere and Musiche Leggere series do you recommend, if any. I have not explored any of those.

[texasvinyl]

Also holy cow you are right the series goes above 100, I thought whatever one with the super nerdy keyboard dude on the cover had to be one of the last.

[texasvinyl]

a nice one just auctioned, the cometa reissue is very good too. I wish mine didn't have the humidity damage

[milliondollars]

so great to see this being reissued, love the new cover art!

but even better to see the session players behind these tunes being revealed. it's like an italian all-star line-up. just crazy...

listen over here

Vincenzo Restuccia - drums
Nino Rapicavoli - flute
Antonello Vannucchi - Hammond C3 organ
Alessandro Alessandroni - 12-string guitar
Silvano Chimenti - guitar
Giovanni Tommaso - bass
Giuliano Sorgini - percussions and keyboards

[Mateo Sanboval]

I have time for this.

[texasvinyl]

Yeah very happy for this, I have never been able to find this one. No surprise about the lineup, the italian wrecking crew in action!!



Scored this on eBay for 20 bucks, it's a great record. My first Themes LP.
