A major record company, and probably the most important in Italy, for the purposes of these discographies RCA Italiana has a special role, as they released directly or indirectly, through their subsidiaries, many influential rock and prog albums of the late 60's and early 70's. Founded in Rome around 1951 under the protective wing of Vatican, and with its historical headquarters (also including the well-known recording studios) on the Via Tiburtina, the popular record company closed around 1990, becoming part of the Bertelsmann BMG group.

The first of Morgan's (Morgan Fisher of the Love Affair and Mott the Hoople fame) own projects, recorded by the progressive rock band he and drummer Maurice Bacon of Love Affair formed in 1971. Bass player Bob Sapsed had also played in the last period of Love Affair. Singer and co-composer of this album Tim Staffell had been the singer/bassist in the band Smile, which included Brian May and Roger Taylor, who went on to form Queen. “Nova Solis” is, in true progressive rock style, a concept album, but hopefully with none of the pompousness associated with the genre. A mixture of beautiful acoustic songs (with Tim's voice reminiscent of, yes, Freddie Mercury) and aggressive synths over a powerful rhythm section, it shows power and versatility from beginning to end. It has received numerous passionate reviews, and they're still coming in. Forty years on, interest is such that the album received a stylish replica re-issue in Japan.
