I PYRANAS "GIULIETTA E ROMEO" LP
BIG BIG BIG RECORD!!! PSYCH/FUNK/JAZZ HOLYGRAIL FROM ITALY!!!!!

Pyranas Giulietta e Romeo LP. Released in 1970 on Italian RCA ARC (ALPS 11016)

This Album is truely amazing!! One of the holy grails of psyche/funk out of Italy!!
The album consists of raw Mohawks style hammond tracks with hardhitting aggresive scat-vocals blending with a hammering psychedelic jazz funk!!! lot of interesting moments on this one with neckbreaking guarantee!!! If you wouldnt have guessed it by now I really dig this album..... Just loaded with breaks and beats and with catchy simple themes with a hard edge!! also a blazing horn section really puts their stamp on this one!!!
Eventhoug this is some sort of concept album - there is a lot of twists and turns on this album and that is exactly what is so wonderful about it - you can sence that they are experimenting alot with arrangements and it really works!!

(I really dont know if its a concept-album – just assuming from the title...a twisted soundtrack to the story about Romeo and Juliet atleast I think so – cant speak Italian so I wouldnt know for sure.)

Some people compare this with the Mohawks but to be honest - I like this much better!!!

Dont really know much about the group or the impact their 3 albums had at the time. The band formed in 1967 and released this album as their last one in 1970.

This is one of the rarer Lps of mine - and one of the best..

So happy to share it with you out there!!!!!

  8. sorry I dont think I understand : "I will die under the knife for an LP" ? what does that mean?. My idea with this blog is only to bring out positive vibes and music to people collecting vinyl or people who just have an interest in music. I am not quite sure that I get that positive vibe from you..?
