Just picked up "New" Goblin - Live in Roma (2011) at a Record/CD show this weekend, but I don't see this album listed on Goblin's discography here on PA. Nor did I see a New Goblin listed in bands. Guess it needs to be added. I have not listened yet but it looks like it should be great with 3 original members still in the band.

Hey Michael very sad news. That self titled album was among the first RPI purchases back when this thread turned me on to RPI in 2012, what a classic! I have not heard that album in a while, it is time to bring it out.
R.I.P. Claudio

R.I.P to vocalist/flautist Claudio Canali of legendary Italian prog-rockers Biglietto per L'Inferno.
He left behind one hell of an RPI classic, a long-unreleased follow-up coming out two decades later and some sublime and exquisite comeback albums with a re-worked modern version of the group.

I just picked up that Metamorfosi album. I mean, how could I not? That's my favorite Banco song!!!
Great stuff. I think I'll check out L'Uovo di Colombo as Cherry Five is awesome.

^^ The first Dalton album would be a worthy investigation also.

I've been hip to the Big 3 (PFM, Banco and Le Orme) for years but only recently started really diving in and am truly enjoying a lot of RPI lately. Locanda Della Fate, Semiramis, Alusa Fallax, Alphataurus, Il Balletto Di Bronzo, Biglietto Per L'Inferno, Maxophone, Campo Di Marte, Murple, Celeste, Goblin/Cherry Five, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Area, New Trolls, Museo Rosenbach, Osanna, etc. You know, the usual suspects.
What are some others I should investigate?

Don't know if it will be part of the rereleases. "Lassa Sta la me Creatura" is out already, and underrated (from my point of view). "Spirito Bono" will follow in July AFAIK (which I rate their second best). Miradas would be my favourite, but was released on another label then the other two, so might not be a part of the deal. |

A reissue of Miradas would be a fine thing indeed  Edited by Mascodagama - May 19 2018 at 13:57 |

^ Yeah, for sure. There are waaaay too many Italian artists who haven't been issued on CD yet. Some of the bootleg labels like Tachika and Poor House have done some of them, but it's always better to have an official one, especially when the original LP is so scarce and was never reissued either!
A few that come to mind that didn't get official releases that you might find on these labels: Mario Barbaja - Megh Assemblea Musicale Teatrale Ballettirosadimacchia (legend has it this was a Japanese band posing as Italians) I Califfi (first album) Canzionere di Lazio And especially... But hey, if Lapera, Messaggio 73, and Armando Piazza can get nice BTF reissues, we can still hope!

Todd!!!  Usually what I do when I read about this obscurities is head to Discogs to see if either LP or CD reissues are available, and I nearly fell over at the prices the original LP's are commanding these days! What a shame his early albums have never been reissued.

^ It's amazing how deep the RPI pool is! There are layers upon layers of riches to be found!
Here's a gem I listened to recently that I hadn't heard for a while. I linked to the artist page for a couple YouTube videos.

Well, here was a surprise discovery for me. I had NEVER heard of this band or album, and it was only through someone randomly posting it on a Facebook prog-collecting group that I was made aware of it. I’ve since picked up a Mini LP edition of it, and I’m very happy. Not a total RPI blowout, but fancy pop and light rock pieces given a charming instrumental blacking. Very happy to add it to the collection!

You're right in a sense, and especially with LP's; the're up and coming only. And the prog section is in a constant state of flux...At least it does exist! As long as you're branched to such this site, you'll find any physical store not up to par anyway. But as you seem to do like me (i'm a booksalesman working within 10 minutes walking and visit it usually 3 day's a week by lunchtime, keeping the 2 other days to Boulimier not far (this coming to an end though because the selection i'snt following suit...), you know what i mean; the thing i like actually: they've brought back the jazz section besides , while it was on a different street number for two years now; the pop rock , alternative and techno electro provide much pleasure too as i'm not limited to prog but say, enjoy any "intelligent" music. And the thing i hate: that many , including the store director, think that Metal/Hard/Doom is a fit to prog. As you have one salesman who knows everything, others would have in public listening mostly "cookie monsters"... Which i truly hate ! Dream theaters of this world "sors de ce corps" please, that is my moto... Actually the second employee is a strange case. Himself a musician, as soon as he takes charge we can't hear anything other than is own band's record. Not bad actually a kind of modern neo prog with a nice female vocalist. But once this is played, we're up for heavy metal throat singing contest... At the end i'm simply glad Gibert does exist, even if there are signs that not all is going fine for them.

I spend half of my life at Gibert Joseph. The prog section is not that good,in my opinion, especially in Lp.
