LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Another Goblin parallel work is the mighty Cherry Five album, recorded in 1974 and released in 1976. Even if it's not particularly representative of the Italian prog sound, the LP is a genuine rarity due to the great world success Goblin achieved with some of their soundtrack works, and is in many collectors' want lists. A keyboard based album, sung in English, Cherry Five has strong influences by the likes of Genesis and Yes, especially in the fluid keyboard parts and powerful bass sound. A classic, and a continuous seller.
