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!

Terrific digital remaster, for the first time at 192 khz and 24 bit.

From the original master tapes.
