Back again in the land of the Boot, for the 15th time now. I assume all Garage aficionados will sample Caveman’s compilations of the splendid and comprehensive "Atto di Forza“ series which has arrived at #45 by now(!).I avoided overlaps which means you’ll probably hear all 50 tracks gathered here for the first time after 50 years. Of course I had to go through a molasses of orchestrated morte and amore schmaltz ballads but underlying there is still a few nuggets worth listening with combos that were completely unknown to me, like Mike Sands and the Sandmen, Willy & the Internationals, The Uragans and I Delfini di Pisa . And I’m not scraping the bottom of the Barolo barrel, you’ll get an interesting mix of tunes that vary from early Rockabilly to Novelty songs ad from Beat to Psychedelia, plus an info and photo filled booklet. I’m sure you’ll dig, let me know.
PS Thanks go out to my friends at the "Beat and Rock Italiano“ fb - site for digging deep, and specially to Enzo Bellocchio
