Only a few months after Lume Alba, another project was mostly finalized: the ambitious concept album Zalmoxe, featuring lyrics by Romanian poet Alexandru Basarab. Badulescu had left the band and Aldea invited instead a highschool friend, talented keyboard player Nicolae (Nicu) Enache. The album's release was however delayed for three years for political censorship reasons, so it came out only in 1978 on a single LP instead of a double album, as the band initially had planned. Meanwhile, Jon Anderson's backing band released Olias of Sunhillow in 1976 and when Aldea listened to it, he thought of trying to make a "timid" response out of their own album. After the release of the album, a major concert tour was held throughout the country, where the band enjoyed huge success with the audience.
The record looks excellent, there are no signs or marks of any kind. It plays with a little background noise in the quieter parts. The cover sleeve is made from poor-quality material and has a few stains, visible on the back, but is not torn and looks intact. Please check the additional pictures posted below and judge for yourself. This is a real collectable item, an extremely rare album. Any further details or photos, please ask.
The record was closely taken care of and is from a pet and smoke free house. I am not a professional seller and I try to grade the records as good as I can, using the Goldmine Standards. However, if I make a mistake I will always try to sort it out with the buyer.
