Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise.

Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end.

We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

" TO BE OR NOT TO BE "
.......................................................... Of the more overlooked (rare!) classic progressive rock gems -
~ well worth checking out. The 48 years ago GATEFOLD (original) cover reflects the sounds of the music perfectly ... featuring a very ominous/abstract image of something in flight whether it is a sky-glider or flying-high kite remains unclear -- but we can imagine, especially when the cover art reflects the innovative complexities within !
.
IL VOLO (in Flight)
Combining inventive synths/keys amid memorable soaring energies --
even the lead guitarist has a unique approach, tending to play very high notes while soloing in a very sharp expressive tones
Tuneful melodic soundscapes ...
How difficult would be for any band to pull off even a decent cover of ....
Drenched in moving thematic arrangements ...vocals are very minimal, and when, are scat-singing modes highlighted by the tightly impressive interplay of seamlessly smooth keys & guitars amid amazing deeply mixed bass and drums.
Complex atmospheric progressive fusion at it's best ...
The "FAN MAN" further adds:
What's to love regarding this 1975 album are the majestic complex moods created throughout !!!
All tracks were designed at the beginning of 1975, in mind to place the listener in a haze-inducing surreal "glide along" with us feel .
All over welcoming but rather eerie at the same time - a very full feeling.
This LP is the type of high end performance the progressive rock Italians pulled off very well. Never overlong nor having any filler, instead focusing on the delivery in top notch qualities.

- CONDITION:
- The cover: rated: "EX" (excellent) about the BEST condition one may hope to find given the fact the blue hues GATEFOLD cover from 55 years past will always show ring wear & worse ... here is your exception, with maybe very light previous handling, if that ... Consider a TOP copy for the fragility and fact the Numero Uno (#1) pressing from 55 years ago is highly scarce (!) -- no concerning problems really ...
- The vinyl: Rated: near M- plays FANTASTIC ! both legendary original "green NUMERO UNO (1)" labels are totally clean
