LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Formula 3 were one of the first and most popular Italian rock bands of the late 60's/early 70's era and their debut LP (released in February 1970 by the Numero Uno label) is without a doubt the best psychedelic album ever recorded in Italy! Musically this trio was similar to early Deep Purple, Procol Harum and Vanilla Fudge - with heavy emphasis on Hendrix-like guitar (by Alberto Radius - one of the best Italian guitarists ever), tasteful Hammond organ passages and really fine vocals. The 7-minutes long title track is an amazing piece of dark, intensive and heavy psychedelic rock and must be heard to be believed! Other songs were divided for ambitious pop-psychedelia and heavy, intense pieces including a fine rendition of the classic Walk Away Renee. It's an album which can't be missed!"
