LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

papersleeve CD + DVD"

Another band that deserved much more consideration than they got, Murple
released a single beautiful album in 1974 on the German Basf label, one of
very few Italian releases on this label, that didn't care to promote the group
at all and issued the record long after its recording. It's a shame, because “Io
sono Murple” is a very regarding album, well presented in a fantasy cover
and with lyric insert, and very well played by this experienced four-piece from
Rome.
The album contains a long suite divided on the two sides, based on the story
of a penguin, and even if the lyrics are somehow naive, the music is very
good, with classical inspirations especially in the keyboard playing and nice
guitar parts."This new papersleeve reiusse, taken from the master tapes, includes an old
live recording bonus track (as a matter of fact an unreleased track!!) from
the 1973 Be In festival in Naples, and three studio live tracks from “Quadri
da un'esposizione”, with the newcomer guitarist Maurizio Campagnano and
the vocalist Claudia
d’Ottavi.
The papersleeve also contains as bonus a live DVD from the March 2010
reunion concert. Of course there is also a huge booklet with many never
seen before pictures!"
