Jolly Story Vol 1 (LP sleeve edition)

Out Of Stock

A wealth of rare work from the Italian scene of the 60s – some amazing tracks we never would have heard otherwise! Instead of other sets of this nature, which are often straight beat, garage, or psyche – this collection features a really great range of styles – kind of a true spectrum of Italian pop in the 60s – yet without any of the cloying commercial modes that a term like "pop" might imply! Production on most of the tracks is really great – lots of cool twists and turns and studio touches that keep things interesting – and which almost make a lot of these numbers feel like some of the occasional rock numbers you'd hear blaring from a radio or jukebox in an early 60s Italian film. The set features 18 tracks in all, with a nice booklet that reproduces original record cover art too – and titles include "Canta" by Herbert Pagani, "Le Pigne In Testa" by Gli Scooters, "Un Giorno O L'Altro" by Le Amiche, "Tu Mi Fai Girar La Testa" by Anita Traversi, "FMB Shake" by Armando Trovajoli, "Le Reazioni" by Franco Battiato, and "Non Sai La Strada" by Roberta Mazzoni.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
